Fans of ‘Runaway’ singer Janet Jackson accused the pop icon of living up to the song title (with their coins in purse) after she announced the postponement of her critically acclaimed ‘Unbreakable World Tour’ to start a family.
However, quick to put out the fire, Live Nation issued a statement clearing up any confusion on the length of the Grammy winner/mom-to-be’s hiatus from the road.
See their official word below:
Via Live Nation (courtesy of UW):
“The Janet Jackson Unbreakable tour in North America will be postponed until 2017. New dates will be announced at a later time, and tickets will be honored for the rescheduled dates. Refunds are also available at the point of purchase. Stay tuned to JanetJackson.com and LiveNation.com for further info.”
No word on European dates as of time reported.

Mess. This era is looking mesier than ANTIalbumsales and joystick 🙁
GIANT LOOOOOL
Bish Better have My money! Im through with the shenanigans Janet!
It has definitely been messy. I thought she had prepared this well but still has been messy. Taking into account she didn´t even went for commercial recognition (which always means extra pressure) I´m surprised she still had messy stuff going on.
Now Rihanna is another case. She is just a mess of an artist. So a messy era was bound to happen once her label decided to change things a little bit and stop releasing a generic album every year. Now they have released a generic album after 3 years lol
U people are truely miserable funky sslutts without a gotdamn thang better to do than cluck like the hens you all are. All of yall on this post
DEATH @Adele
Janet should’ve stayed in hiding.
Chile, this era has been anything BUT unbreakable. More like unbookable
Deeeeathh!!!!
Sorry to inform you doll, but Ms. Jackson has been booked and sold out across the entire North America. #Tryagain
Sis meet me on twitter, Im so sad about this…
The absolute hilarity.
.
The last 7 – 10 years, the jokes have written themselves with this Woman.
.
My heart goes out to her fans in Europe especially.
She’s pregnant ??
But im glad she’s just postponing its been alot of issues
LMAO at more like UNBOOKABLE! Like Iv’e said before, Janet has been messy lately, but I’m sure she really has no desire to do this music business mess anymore. Everything may just be boring for her now so she’s like if you see me, you see…If you don’t, you don’t!
Chile this would be the 3rd time she’s post pined my date. Ain’t nobody got the time to be playing games.
Madonna will never do this to her fans that’s why that b**** is more successful than Janet when it comes to touring.
How do you postpone “cancel” 75 shows of your tour and expect people to wait until 2017? Girl bye
Her career is over. No promoter will ever take a risk booking her ass
Girl u aint HARDLY a janet fan. Please stop, u look stupid.
She should just cancel it altogether. Janet, sis you’re a MESS!
19k
Well! I guess I can wait until 2017. I hope she has a blessed and healthy pregnancy. I really kind of wish she would just do a new concept for the tour considering this issue and give us another album with it and more videos.
And Mama Jigsaw and her tour will stay flopping like your essay comments
But I guess a new concept would defeat the purpose of what unbreakable is. So I get it. At the end if she reboots it, it would truly be an unbreakable tour. So in that case she could do a re-release of it. Maybe do a dual record with 7 or 10 more songs added. And more videos released following.
.
See you in 2017 Ms. JAN JACKSON!
I agree! I would love for her to release some new music preferably this year. I loved Unbreakable but I feel like it needs a part two. I also need her to do a DOCUMENTARY!!!!!
Yes! I would love a documentary too!
Janet that was really shady of you. I read where some folks were saying that they were having a hard time getting their refunds back
I mean I guess I can’t be mad, since her reason is understandable, but she has always been lazy as a tour artist
Chile, look! Janet, if you’re gonna have have this baby, do it right and don’t just take care of him/her for one year and then go back on tour. You’ll inevitably end up cancelling the remaining dates because you want to be around your baby anyway. I hate to say it, but Madonna must be laughing her ass off right now.
I agree. She should just cancel it altogether at this point. You know damn well she’s not going to want to resume this tour in 2017; especially if she starts a family. It’ll just do more damage to her reputation for being a flaky, unreliable touring act.
Who starts a world tour then decide in the middle of touring you decide (Hey I want to get pregnant and start a family). Like seriously Janet, you could wait until the tour is over to do this? Beyoncé would never do this to her fans?
Bish Better have My money! Im through with the shenanigans Janet!!!

Janet didn’t wanna come bk but I’m glad she did for a whole. Enjoy urban family
Janet should just cancel this whole entire show all together. And stop making all these announcements if you’re not going to tell the full whole truth, this whole era is a hot damn mess. There was no promo, no nothing no one really knows if she pregnant, have a surrogate, or adopting. Just a big ass questions mark full of questions that will go unanswered, people hollering I want new music, I want a documentary, I want a new video, I want this I want that. But still if she can’t keep her own tour together what the hell are you gonna expect, I’m a fan but I’m gonna have to call a spade a spade this was totally out of line on her part she should understand people book flights, take off work put in vacation time to revolve around her tour and so forth sometimes people can get there funds back sometimes they can’t she should consider that when booking a tour. At this point alot of her fans are going to say f*** Janet let me go get my money so I can go see Beyonce or do something else with it because at this point Janet can’t be trusted Janet was never this damn off I remember she fully cancelled the rock with you tour back in 2008 but she scrapped the tour the right way. Her main problem is that lentil eating, curry cooking, r***** protecting, victim firing ass husband can’t stand his ugly punk ass. But he didn’t want her touring no way or working for that matter that’s why she’s going through all these shenanigans she needs to hurry up and divorce him so she can gain her damn sanity because she done went and lost her damn mind and just clean house all together take the trash out because it’s not looking good just completely cancel this whole tour if Janet wants a smidgen or respect back all I got to say is Beyonce would never.
Of respect back.
I knew this was going to happen same thing with the discipline tour Janet has become so unreliable as of late when it comes to supply and demand with her fans. While I am happy she is starting a family but what I don’t understand is why wait until your fans have invested in you again and pull the plug all of a sudden with half ass explanations. Sorry Ms Jackson this Unbreakable era has been broken and it’s all your fault.
A 10-year-hiatus and now she is on tour for 5months and she wants to plan a family… That’s one big of a mess Janet!!!
She’s done dahhling. However my tour is slaying!
This is a joke. Just let it go and retire already.
Who has a baby at 100 years old? That’s a whole lot of birdseed she’s gonna need to bribe the stork with. This whole era has been one giant calamity and now she’s trying to get out of it.
This is all an elaborate plan drawn out by her husband to keep her away from her music career and make her solely devoted to him and her new religion. Are we supposed to believe that after having her baby she will be committed to doing all those dates? She will cancel it next year, and then she will disappear for a few years and maybe release a few compilations and maybe do few iconic award show performances. Looks like it’s a wrap! SMH!
Y’all sleep as fu*k if you don’t see that Janet’s husband is intentionally ruining her career. He wants her completely underfoot and devoted to his bony a**. There is no other explanation for this latest fiasco announcement. Janet has never been this flakey with her career. Never. I feel so sorry for the dancers, background singers and band members who probably gave up other gigs to tour with her. Now they are stuck out in the cold floundering. WTF kind of mind control does he have over her? Wake up Janet. smdh
I’m frustrated with how Janet has handled this album and tour. Even before the announcement of wanting a family, Janet seemed to be doing little to push the album. It’s not just about Janet. Producers, engineers and many other professionals put a lot into creating the album and tour and they deserve the best possible return on their investment. Those people may not be there for Janet if and when she decides to get her act together. All this waiting is really a shame, because she won’t have another album like Unbreakable.
Maybe she will adopted a child or have someone else be carrying he baby or she may be pregnant alot of people saying that she’s too old to start a family at this age and she could of had family years ago without the public knowing about it however I wish Janet Jackson-mana the best. People start family at different age rather someone in their late 30’s or 40’s
