Jessie J Gets Emotional While Remembering Friend Who Died 7 Years Ago ...Saudi Arabia

Pop star Jessie J has opened up about her late friend and bodyguard, Dave, in an emotional Instagram post, seven years after his death. 

The singer shared a touching video that highlights their special moments together, alongside a heartfelt caption expressing her grief and love.

"I hate how final death is. I would give anything to post a more recent or new video of us,” Jessie J wrote in her post. “But instead I will watch these on repeat until we meet again big bro. You know what it is. I miss you so much. I talk about you to Sky and tell him about our travels. He says 'Uncle Dave lives in the clouds and he loves you so much.' If you hear me talking to you today, come say hi. 7 years."

The video included clips of happy memories with Dave, such as celebrating his birthday during concerts, dancing together backstage and playful moments on a plane.

Jessie J has described Dave not just as her bodyguard, but as a close confidant and steady presence during her rise to fame.

 In an interview with This Morning, she explained, "He was the one I’d phone and be like, ‘Bro, I need to go for a walk, this is too much for me.’ Losing him still affects me deeply today."

Her grief inspired her new album, Don't Tease Me With a Good Time, marking her first major release in seven years. The album features the song “I’ll Never Know Why,” a tribute to Dave. 

Jessie J revealed that the song was written five years ago and almost didn’t make it onto the album. Her team encouraged her to include it, believing it could comfort others facing loss or loneliness.

During a recent Royal Variety Performance, Jessie J performed the song for Prince William and Kate Middleton, wearing a tracksuit with the phrase “Do you have a hoodie?” embroidered on the back; a nod to Dave’s simple, reassuring gestures that helped her through anxious moments.

Jessie J’s Journey Through Loss and Life

The singer has faced several personal challenges in recent years. In 2025, she was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer and underwent surgery to remove a lump in her right breast. Jessie J has been candid about her journey, telling Good Morning America, "When I got diagnosed with breast cancer, I wasn't scared. I felt a little bit out of control. But I am a sharer, and I wasn't gonna sit at home and cry about it."

Despite the health scare, Jessie J returned to the stage and remained determined to share her music and life experiences with fans. Her recent performances, including emotional renditions of “Comes in Waves,” a song inspired by her pregnancy loss, have resonated deeply with audiences.

Through her music and public tributes, Jessie J continues to honor Dave’s memory. She describes him as a “big brother” and emphasizes the importance of keeping connections alive, even after loss. By sharing her deepest emotions and memories, Jessie J not only celebrates her late friend’s life but also inspires others to cherish the bonds they hold dear.
