Janet Jackson cancels postponed European tour dates

Less than three months after postponing numerous Unbreakable Tour dates to undergo surgery, Janet Jackson has reportedly canceled those rescheduled European tour dates.

"It is not possible to confirm new date at the present time so we are refunding all ticket holders," an email from Ticketmaster informed fans who had purchased tickets to her U.K. and other European shows, according to Spin.

Jackson's European tour dates have been removed from Ticketmaster's site. Billboard reached out to Jackson's rep for comment and did not hear back at time of publishing.

In early 2016, not long after postponing the now canceled dates, Jackson shot down rumors that her surgery was related to cancer.

As of Tuesday morning (March 8), Jackson's U.S. Unbreakable Tour dates -- slated to begin June 24 in New Jersey -- are still on.

This won't bode well for future concert sales.

I hope she's ok healthwise, but it's not the first time she cancelled Europe dates either. Maybe she wants to do Dubai World Cup and then reschedule.

What's the point? Who's gonna trust her now? She has problems shifting tickets as it is, she will have more problems, when people don't trust her anymore. Her medical postponement was already problematic for some and a sure sign to some, that she's gonna cancel the US leg. The reason given now is "scheduling conflict". Right. What "scheduling conflict" could prevent a 1 month long tour of Europe, which was booked 5 months ago. Probably the conflict is that people don't give her the time of day to see her, that they are scheduled to be somewhere else at the time of her concert?!

It does sound frustrating for sure and I'm anxious my date will be next which would be so upsetting because I took that work shift off instead of my birthday where I could be doing something for my birthday weekend


Hey do you think missing Michael might be the underlying cause this time? She did say about doing World Cup that mj loved uae, maybe she decided it was too much for both? (Thus maybe should have committed to Europe)

Yeah. I know what you mean. I also cut my US trip to see GNR short, to fit between 2 Janet shows, for which I had great tickets. Stupid, Stupid, stupid. I could have gone/could go to the US 5 days earlier. Now I have a fucking flight, 5 days after my friends, which I can't change.

It frustrating to see her post about being excited to perform in Dubai 2 days ago on FB, and now she cancels the concerts one month after that.

It's more "annoying" than stressful.

I don't think Dubai is cancelled. Of course it would help for her to cancel Dubai too, to save face. Would look odd, if she would do Dubai.

So? Then you just move to smaller venues. Rock stars should stop being so obsessed with numbers. If, however, she cancelled the tour for health reasons, than it's a different story.

Honestly,I really don't think that Janet enjoys touring.She probably feels obligated to do it,but I don't think it's something she really wants to do.There have been other Janet tours filled with cancellations and other issues.Maybe it's time to retire from touring and focus on something else?

No. This is only what happens, when she lets her fans down. One whole working day, without a official explanation from her (the first dates have been pulled yesterday already). We should have heard from her first. That's disrespectful on her part.

Janet's track record in touring is god awful. She has cancelled dates on ALL of her tours since 2001. Ridiculous. I'm glad I didn't bother buying a ticket, even though I wanted to.

Well. To play devil's advocate, she only cancelled one date on the Number Ones tour.

They have deleted the euro dates, but left Dubai: www.janetjackson.com/tour#.Vt9MGEAYm5g So we know where we are.

True. But she also failed to report a lot of the dates. From what i've seen at least.

I don't want to bash Janet but this era has been so annoying. How is she going to call this UNBREAKABLE and than BREAK promises. smh

Exactly.

Fans keep giving her the benefit of the doubt and excuses and she always does this. How many shows has she cancelled over the years? I hope she's not ill, I hope Joseph isn't ill, but she was posting videos about going to Dubai and I had a feeling then that the concerts would probably not go ahead.

People are upset. Her UK and European fans get to see her how often? Alot of them had tickets to MJ too and he died, so it was probably an emotional investment too to see Janet at the 02 arena. People book time off work, they book hotels and travel to go to shows. They have a right to be upset. It shows that they actually gave a shit enough to SCHEDULE their lives to go to a concert.

It's only over because of Janet though, look at twitter and how many people are pissed off that they won't be going to the concert. It's not like she is a nobody that hasn't even made any ripples with this new tour. People are reacting because they were prepared to go to the show.

Maybe the show didn't sell out, but not alot of shows do get a full venue at an arena, the trick is curtains lol . It's a shame that her team or Janet herself can't figure out how to either pace shows or make them actually enjoyable for Janet to do.

If she is going to go and do the show in Dubai, she probably has no interest in touring and never should have bothered in the first place. If selling out shows is a problem aswell as the aspect of touring, Janet should have just done a couple of shows in MSG and London as a rarity show that everyone should see then the venues would have been full too!

Wow! This is not a good look at all. I love me some, but this is bad!!!! I hope nothing is seriously wrong with her. I feel so bad for the people who have brought tickets, plane tickets, and hotel rooms. I also feel some kind of way that her team has not put out a statement yet. Is she still performing at the Dubai Cup? If so that will most likely add fuel to the burning fire. My mind is telling me that Janet wants out. But she wanted to do this last thing for her fans. I get the feeling that music and performing are no longer #1. And that's find with me. I mean the woman has been onstage since she was 7. I wish all the UK fans the best. Now I'm afraid she will cancel the 3rd leg.
