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'.
