Popstar Jessie J revealed she is to perform a concert just a day after suffering a miscarriage.
The superstar, best known for hits such as Price Tag and Bang Bang, took to Instagram to share the news with her 10.4 million followers.
It comes just a month after she split from Max Pham.
Jessie, aged 33, said she found out the news in the early hours, ahead of a performance in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.
She said she would complete the gig to help with the grief.
Sharing her story, she said: "Yesterday morning I was laughing with a friend saying ‘seriously though how am I going to get through my gig in LA tomorrow night without telling the whole audience I am pregnant.’
“By yesterday afternoon I was dreading the thought of getting through the gig without breaking down… After going for my 3rd scan and being told there was no longer a heartbeat.
“I decided to have a baby on my own. Because it’s all I’ve ever wanted and life is short. To get pregnant was a miracle in itself and an experience I will never forget and I know I will have again.
“What I do know is that I want to sing tonight. Not because I’m avoiding the grief or the process, but because I know singing tonight will help me.”
