The Queen Of The Screen : Fatal stabbing at my gig left me heartbroken

Jessie J has revealed she was left ‘heartbroken’ by a fatal bottle-slash attack at one of her gigs last year.

The shattered Wild singer said it took her a ‘long time’ to get her head around the death of Phillip Sherriff, 37, at her set for BlackBerry at a London nightclub last April. He was stabbed by Ashley Charles, a 26-year-old graphic designer.

‘I’ve never actually spoken about this. You never expect to have someone lose their life at your show. I was heartbroken,’ the 25-year-old songstress said after Charles was jailed for 14 years for his murder.

‘I’d left the building when it happened, but the thought that the last thing he saw was me singing live? That stuck with me for a long time,’ the star told Time Out magazine.

She also explained how there is an ugly side to fame.

‘I’ve had death threats for cancelling shows!’ she explained.

‘With social media, young people use words of hatred so flippantly now. It’s either “I LOVE YOU!” or “I HATE YOU AND I WANT YOU TO DIE.” There’s no middle ground. Everything’s an extreme, because people want to be noticed.’

The former Voice UK coach also said things got too close to call when she had ankle surgery following a nasty fall during rehearsals for the Capital Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium.

‘In summer of 2011, I broke my foot while filming an advert. I got rushed to A&E and as I was being pushed to a room, people were filming and taking photos. That’s the bit I hate. That’s the bit I… those are the moments when I lose faith in the public.

‘At the time I was just thinking: “You’ve not bought a ticket to come and see me right now, please understand that this is a very personal moment.” Even a doctor asked for my autograph.

‘They told me I’d sprained my foot. The sock that I wore for the Wembley gig I did afterwards – people to this day think that it was a cast. It wasn’t, it was from Claire’s Accessories.’

The Queen Of The Screen : Fan abuse is 'scary'

Jessie J avoids reading her Twitter feed because she finds the online abuse she gets from fans hurtful and scary.

Jessie J finds says the online abuse she gets from fans is ''scary''.

The 'Price Tag' singer has actively decided not to read all her Twitter comments because she finds the personal attacks very hurtful, especially when she's coping with a heart condition and managing the problem to perform for her fans.

In an interview with Time Out magazine, she said: ''It's hard. I still have a heart deficiency and have days where I struggle. The fans don't get that sometimes. The abuse you get if you have to cancel a show ... It's scary.

''With social media, young people use words of hatred so flippantly now. It's either 'I LOVE YOU!' or 'I HATE YOU AND I WANT YOU TO DIE'. There is no middle ground. Everything's an extreme because people want to be noticed ...

''I tend not to read my social media timeline as much as I used to, because I try to lead a very positive life and Twitter can be quite dark sometimes.''

The 25-year-old star hates being hounded by fans in public when she's trying to go about her daily life, especially when she's in a compromising situation, and those moments make her lose ''faith'' in humanity.

She quipped: ''In summer 2011, I broke my foot while filming an advert. I got rushed to A&E, and as I was being pushed into a room, people were filming and taking photos. That's the bit I hate. Those are the moments when I lose faith in the public.

''At the time I was just thinking: you've not bought a ticket to come and see me right now, please understand that this is a very personal moment. Even a doctor asked for my autograph.''

Singer Jessie J on why she ditched the booze and has been simplifying her life for the sake of her music

The 25-years old singer has said keeping off the booze has helped her stay in shape and stay focused for her tour.

ONE of the perks of being a pop star is having access to an endless flow of free champers.

But Jessie J has passed up on that particular freebie – because she has quit booze altogether.

The singer, 25, hasn’t touched alcohol for a year and has  revealed for the first time why she stopped.

Essex girl Jessie said: “I haven’t had any alcohol for a year – October 15 last year was the last time I had a drink.

“It has made a difference. Honestly, I think when you live cleaner, your mind is cleaner.”

Speaking at the opening night of her Alive stadium tour in Belfast on last week, Jessie said that staying off the sauce has contributed towards her trim physique.

The star has been showing off her fantastic figure in an array of catsuits, floaty dresses and sequins.

The It’s My Party star said: “I’ve been working out loads and having protein shakes, making sure my diet is right and just being vocally prepared. This show is hard on my vocals.”

Fortunately, Jessie doesn’t feel as if she is missing out on any Geordie Shore-style nightclubbing antics – as she isn’t into that scene.

She insisted: “Not drinking hasn’t been too tough on my social life or going out – as I don’t have many friends.

“I mean that in a positive way. I have the friends I need and that’s it. They fit in my life.”

What Jessie might be saving in bar bills she seems to be making up for with her own stylist.

After ditching her cartoon ­character look last year and parting ways with her fashion man Karl Willett, she has turned to DIY diva dressing.

Jessie said: “Styling myself hasn’t saved me loads of money at all because I don’t get lent stuff any more.

“I have to buy it myself now. But at least I get to keep it, which is great. I used to hate it when I got to wear an amazing coat just the once.

“I feel like I look simpler now and that it’s all about my voice.”

And not vodka.
