See, this is why Wendy Williams and her Truth & Trash finding Goons should NEVER go on break...Wendy will see to it that we find out what's going on with Ms. Jackson come 2016...

But Janet has not had low ticket sales on THIS tour so I don't see why she would suddenly cancel. There are shows that are sold out for next year already. I do think this was probably something that could have been mentioned earlier and not on Christmas eve since its "serious"

Janet the human being doesn't owe any apologies to anybody at this point. Her wording sounds very serious this time around, especially the fact she three in words like family and praying and hard time. I hope it's not a medical scare, have some compassion for once. Yes I did think of low ticket sales in the past top, but something about how her tone is different now

I believe it's about somethign else altogether.....but she know she can't come out and talk about or else she'd be crushed

On previous tours,didn't she have problems with vertigo? Maybe those problems have come back.

She always cancels her tours halfway due to poor ticket sales. Ridiculous. Whatever she postponed for now. Mark my words she will eventually cancel her tour and not reschedule these dates. This is the most lame comeback story of the year. And she decides to make the announcment on Christmas eve. Classy Janet always looking out for her fans. Not. She has a very bad attitude and this is why she won't be inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame

Ouch!

Janet is a very secretive person and hides alot of things,so that's probably why someone would be skeptical about this announcement.I remember in the early 90s when she was denying that she was married to Rene,but of course,she really was married to him,lol.And then there's the vertigo cancellations during the 2008 tour.Many of the shows had poor ticket sales,so of course,people assumed that was the real reason for the cancellations.

That was the real reason. She was dropped by Live Nation because of poor ticket sales in 2008.

She was not dropped. She did both the Number Ones (during which only 1 show out of 80 got cancelled) and Unbreakable tours with Live Nation.

She was dropped in 2008 by Live Nation. I am not referring to her Number Ones tour which was in 2010. I am also not referring to this current tour which has done very well. I am talking about her Rock Wit U tour and Live Nation did drop her due to low ticket sales.

According to Leonard Rowe (concert promotor/associate of Jackson family), in his book What Really Happened to Michael Jackson, Janet called him because she was desperate to find a concert promotor becuase Live Nation had dropped her. These are passages in his book. They are quoted DIRECTLY word for word from his book. http://michaeljackson.for...t=66711833

On February 14th of 2007, I was in my kitchen fixing breakfast around 8am, and I received a call. I wondered who it could be that early, but it was too early for me to talk, so I didn’t answer. My phone beeped and I knew a message had been left. It was a message from Janet Jackson, Michael’s sister. She said, ‘Rowe, this is Jan. Would you please call me as soon as possible, it’s important.’ I said to myself, ‘I wonder what she wants this time of morning.’ I immediately returned the call and Janet answered. She was in Atlanta, and said, ‘Rowe, I’m in a little trouble; my tour has been cancelled by Live Nation, and I’m obligated to my band. They have blocked their time out this summer to tour with me. And now, if I don’t tour they will be missing income.’

She then asked, if we could go out on tour and do twenty shows. I knew very well why Live Nation had cancelled. It was because at the time Janet was cold as ice. I did not believe she had the drawing power to tour at that time, but I could not help but think about how much Michael and her brothers the Jacksons had done for me earlier in my career. Because of my appreciation and gratitude, I knew I would do whatever was needed to help Janet. Even if it meant losing everything I owned and possessed, I truly would have done it. It was very painful to me, when later I found her to be unappreciative of my efforts. Being a black concert promoter in the concert business, ‘we have always had to learn how to take lemons and make lemonade.’ I told her to give me a few hours to think and I would call her back later that day.

interesting.Was this the same tour where she was cancelling all those shows,blaming it on vertigo?
