The 45-year-old Anastacia -- who made a full recovery from her first bout with cancer in 2003 after being treated with surgery and radiotherapy -- was forced to cancel her European tour in February after her second diagnosis of breast cancer.

She also used her latest announcement to draw attention to helping prevent the disease.
