I love Jessie J!

My mum got me and my friend tickets to see her in Pontypridd this weekend and I was so excited!

Five minutes before we were supposed to leave my friend rang me and told me she had some really bad news. At first I thought she was going to say that she couldn't come and I was sad at the thought of that but that would have been a bouquet of flowers compared to what she told me.

One of her other friends was already at the concert and had just rung my friend. She told me that Jessie J was in hospital and that the whole concert had been cancelled. I was shocked.

I didn't think my friend was lying but I didn't believe it. I looked it up on the internet and this is what I found:

Jessie J Concert Cancelled

Following a visit to her doctor this morning, blood tests have revealed that Jessie J is suffering from CMV, a virus which has caused her considerable fatigue. Doctors have advised that the exertion of performances this weekend would be likely to prolong the recovery period.

Therefore tonight’s opening night of Ponty’s Big Weekend has been cancelled by the organisers Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council and event promoters Orchard Media and Events Group.

Then almost at the same time, Capital announced the same news on the radio, almost as if to rub it in.

I was so disappointed.

Then I hoped that they might reschedule the concert for Monday but it turned out that the tickets would only be refunded, which didn't affect me as my mum got the tickets free from work.

Does anyone know about another concert in Cardiff that Jessie J is in soon?

It was gutting that Jessie J couldn't perform at least one song at Ponty's Big Weekend! I'm not too sure about any other places that Jessie J is performing exactly, but you could look at this website to see some of her upcoming gigs that you may take interest in: http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/Jessie-J-tickets/artist/1543668
