Anastacia reveals she underwent double mastectomy

Anastacia has announced that she is in the "final stages" of recovering from a double mastectomy.

The powerful singer revealed in February this year that she had received a second diagnosis of breast cancer following initial treatment in 2003.

She has now confirmed during Breast Cancer Awareness Month that she underwent a double mastectomy following her second diagnosis.

Anastacia said: "In light of Breast Cancer Awareness Month l wanted to take the opportunity to support a cause particularly close to my heart. 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."

The singer's last original studio album meanwhile came in the shape of 2008's 'Heavy Rotation'.
