celebrity-news Janet Jackson Scraps Three More Concerts Due To Illness

Janet Jackson has postponed three more concerts on her Rock Witchu tour as she continues to battle a mysterious illness, which was initially diagnosed as “vertigo”.

The pop superstar had to cancel a show in Greensboro, North Carolina on Saturday. She also pulled out of Sunday’s gig in Atlanta, Georgia and Monday’s show in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The cancelled shows follow previously-postponed dates in Boston and Philadelphia on Wednesday and Thursday.

Her publicist said in an e-mail late Saturday that she became “suddenly ill” and was rushed to a Montreal hospital on Monday night shortly after she arrived for a show. “Janet was hoping to resume her tour in an effort not to disappoint her fans,” the rep said. “However, after arriving in Greensboro, it became evident that she is not fully recovered. A local doctor advised that she not perform tomorrow.”

A statement from the organizers of the Greensboro concert suggested fans “hold on to their tickets pending a future announcement regarding the rescheduled date.” More information about Janet’s Rock Witchu tour can be found out on her official site. Her brother Randy Jackson told a Michael Jackson fansite that his little sister has vertigo, which is a disturbance of equilibrium that causes dizziness or the sensation of falling. He was quoted as saying, “Janet is doing okay, she suffers from vertigo.”
