“I’m afraid to say what I’m going to say,” she began as she paused to talk about donuts, which she says are her comfort food.

She continued: ‘I have to have surgery. 16 years ago I lost a lot of weight and had a breast lift and augmentation and now the implants have ruptured.’

“I have to go get them taken out and face this reconstruction, which is really scary… I wasn’t sure if I was going to share it, but I’m sharing it… it’s important.”

The singer reveals that perhaps she would not have made the same decision today.

‘I wouldn’t have worn them today. Now I am different; I have different priorities. This is scary, I’m going to face it and get over it,” she shared.
