Singer Anastacia has
revealed she has undergone a double mastectomy after being diagnosed
with breast cancer for the second time.
She told fans she was "in the final stages of recovery" following the procedure and "ready to start the next chapter".
Anastacia cancelled her European tour in February after the second diagnosis.
The 45-year-old made a full recovery in 2003 after being treated with surgery and radiotherapy.
The singer, famous for her hit single, I'm Outta Love,
cancelled 13 dates in April across Europe to promote her latest album
It's A Man's World.
She last performed live in Germany in December 2012 and was
last seen on British TV when she joined Gary Barlow, Louis Walsh and
Tulisa Contostavlos on the X Factor judging panel last year.
"In light of Breast Cancer Awareness Month l wanted to take
the opportunity to support a cause particularly close to my heart," she
said.
'Intense journey'
"l was diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time
earlier this year and am currently in the final stages of recovery after
undergoing a double mastectomy.
"It has been an intense journey but l am feeling great and ready to start the next chapter.
"Breast Cancer Awareness Month gives all who are facing this disease a chance to gain strength and support from each other.
"Early detection has saved my life twice. I will continue to battle and lend my voice in any way I can," she added.
Angelina Jolie revealed earlier this year that she had
undergone a preventative double mastectomy to reduce her risk of
developing breast cancer.
And Sharon Osbourne revealed in November that she had undergone a double mastectomy.
She made a full recovery from colon cancer a decade ago but
like Jolie, opted for surgery after being told she carried a gene which
increased the risk of developing breast cancer.
