October 2nd 2015.
This date will deliver the hotly anticipated set that is Janet Jackson‘s latest LP ‘Unbreakable’ which marks her first since she returned from a hiatus that almost lasted a decade.
One of the highlights of her latest era would have been a performance at the iHeart Radio Festival.
Why “would”?
Ms. Jackson has been forced to pull out.
Find out why below…
An issue with the performer’s ears forced her to cancel her set at the event as she continues to wow crowds at ‘The Unbreakable Tour’ which continues as scheduled this week.
The performance would have marked her first live show for the general public since her return to Pop’s courts.

I was so pissed about it last night, but you know what? The queen knows best. Plus, she still slayed her show that night anyway.
Sounds like she still has vertigo (the reason why she cancelled her 2008 tour). Janet’s health comes FIRST.
Get well soon Queen. This is Janet, the woman that danced 2 hours a night with sore feet. So she wouldn’t just cancel for selfish reasons.
More less at 49 years old. #legend
As if ifs gona suffer the sales of Unbreakable… Pls TGJ #low
Janet’s performance of “All Night” was great. I love seeing the clips on Twitter. Can’t wait to see her live. Hopefully, by next year, she’ll have a whole new wardrobe. Love her.
I’m interested to see how the tour evolves after the album releases. I’m guessing that there will be more performances of songs off of it. Cant wait til the 10th!!
Janet’s ear ache could be Barotrauma (ear pain cause by flying in high altitudes) this also could be an added factor with her existing Vertical Headaches so she was definitely unable to fly due to this condition. As reported by Fox News she wasn’t the only legendary artist to cancel the iheart festival gig, but rock Legends The Who also canceled due to one of their bandmates having Meningitis, so here’s wishing both Janet and the band member from The Who have a speedy recovery.
Vertigo Headaches.
Beyonce would have just pushed past the pain and gave an amazing performance, but everybody isn’t Bey.
Hope Janet gets better.
Even through “dehydration and exhaustion?”

Beyhive is so dumb!!! Janet already had a show last night in North Carolina. Her iheartradio performance was supposed to be tonight in VEGAS, plus a show in Miami tomorrow night. Why would she do that all of that for ONE show? It’s idiotic!!!
Youre soooooo right. Janet isn’t Bey. Janet is a legend.
And so is Beyonce!!!
No Bey is not
Janet is no legend, she is a has been who only ever had a career due to her brothers name.
Dear Avenger,
Anyone that says Janet is a hasbeen is an idiot. Moreover, if her success is due to her brother then why hasn’t any other Jackson seen her success? Also, there was a time when Michael actually requested/ depended on Janet. Janet ruled over a decade and not only made amazing pop albums, but also managed to be socially conscious….something you know nothing about…
Health comes first.
S******, what do you think of Jewel’s “Intuition”? Is it too pop-influenced for your tastes? Or would you rather prefer “Who Will Save Your Soul?” (kind of like everyone else) Serious question.
“Who Will Save Your Soul”, i’m not a fan of neither but “Intuition” wasn’t Jewel, she was trying to be someone else IMO.
Well i think Intuition is all the. Imo
Well, you know with “Intuition” her goal was to make a mockery of the over-sexualization of pop music. I think she did a great job at accomplishing that. However, I thought it was quite peculiar for her fans to label her a “sell-out” without realizing her true intentions of the single and the “03/04” album. Also, the funniest thing to me is that the album only went gold and it’s still not platinum, even though the entire album is nothing more than generic pop music and the lead single peaked in the top 20 of the Hot 100. In my honest opinion, it was okay for her to take that risk, but not so early in her career. After all, her debut album did scan 12X platinum, which I’m still impressed by.
sure Did say thanks you are so right
Aw man, I was really looking forward to seeing her perform tonight. However, her health comes first and this is not the first time I’ve heard about her having issues with her ears. Get well soon Queen ????????.
Aww get well soon Queen! I’m just glad that she’s doing all of this( new album and touring) coz she absolutely doesn’t have to, she’s a legend but she sure as hell care about her fans.
DIE MAMA JIGSAW DIE!!!
Your words will come back at you. #Karma
YESS BOO WHAT GOES AROUND COMES BACK AROUND!!!
MOST TRANNYZ DON’T MAKE IT TO THE AGE OF 50 ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ALSO TRANSFORM THEIR GENITALS. SHE/HE SHOULD HAVE WAITED LIKE CAITLYN JENNER

@Taylor Tart.
So wait…. Janet Jackson-Sharif-Muhammed won’t be debuting her sleeved red turtle neck/MC hammer pant with gloves, matching neck& hair covering and boots? I was really looking forward to see that same exact outfit she’s been rocking every night, in a different color. Dang her!
YESS BOO WHAT GOES AROUND COMES BACK AROUND!!!
AAWW HOW DID YOU KNOW? ARE YOU PSYCHIC OR SOMETHING???
U disgust me
YOU DISGUST ME MORE
I really hope than Jan doesn’t cancel her Japan shows. It would honestly break my heart because it’s so difficult to find videos of her playing at a stadium online aside from the “All for You Tour”. Her health is what’s important, but for her to do 90+ shows lined up thus far, she’s gonna have to pull through and be a trooper like her brother.
Before someone says I’m trolling again, I’d like to make it VERY CLEAR that I AM NOT trolling as “Taylor Tart”. Like I said before, I’ve been here too long for people to not know my standard avi and username. No offense,@Taylor Tart.
NON TAKEN
TROLLING ASIDE THO!!! I THINK ANYONE WHO BELIEVES THAT B**** “THOT YOU’LL NEVER BE” IS A NEW COMMENTER WHO HAS NEVER COMMENTED ON THIS SITE IS A FOOL, THOT YOU’LL NE…….. IS OBVIOUSLY THE REAL BGKC I CAN BET YOU 75% OF MY EARNING
Well, I’m not sure but I’ve literally NEVER seen it before since yesterday and it called me out like it knew me. I didn’t even know who it was! A troll with an avi….that’s a new low for whoever is behind it.
FU CK U TAYLOR!!! ????????
LOL
FIRST DAY COMMENTING AND I HAVE TWO FANS THE POWER OF TAYLORS NAME. SHADY666 & TRUTH I LOVE YOU EQUALLY MY FANS
I don’t want to make any enemies with the users on this blog because I genuinely do like most of them, but I’ve been dying to ask someone who’s a Taylor Stan this question: Which is the better album – “1989” or “Dead Pets” please explain your answer as best as possible.
miley cyrus??? REALLY THO I CAN’T EVEN WRITE THAT BIITCH IN CAPITAL. WASN’T HER ALBUM ABOUT DRUGS? BUT THE PERFORMANCE AND IMPACT OF BOTH ALBUMS IS THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTIONS
Chile that would require coherent thought and critical thinking skills. Let’s not expect too much from these ‘Stan for whoever’s popular at the moment’ stans.
@Taylor no one’s a fan of yours unless you’re a fan of your own damn self now make like the uninvited party pooper you are and leave.
STAN HARDER BIITCH FOR YOU TO GET MY NOTICE
& BIITCH, STAY OUT OF MY REPLY BOX, THIS IS OFICIALLY YOUR FIRST WRITEN WARNING
Taylor tart I can do whatever the hell I want. You don’t own me your the one trolling like an idiot trying to get mentions wishing someone would die by saying Die Momma Jigsaw Die. I was just getting your tired ass together just like everyone else is, but I guess I can’t get past your ignorant ass mind. I feel like this if you don’t like somebody then why waste your time commenting I know we as people use are right to freedom of speech by damn did we ask for freedom of ignorance, I think not but you the one want to troll in peace, alright but just remember trolling never ends peacefully.

Girl, who do you think you are? Who are you to warn anyone? So youre Head Sissy in Charge? I bet you are a 18 year old, over weight, acne faced, Cheeto puff eating, friendless, ugly, lonely, attention seeking homosexual internet bully. #byefelicia
I guess that’s fair but Taylor never taking risks pretty much except for like pop music and that’s it but Miley’S new album was emotional, experimental, and just…..weird! She pulled a complete 180 and the album is about way more than just drugs. To be honest, “Pablo’s the Blogging” is one of the best songs I’ve heard this year. But “Clean” slays too.
@Jan Stan, will do! I’ll keep that in mind.
The queen of cancellations!!!!!
HASHTAG: #JanetsIMPACT 🙂
And Tinashe is the queen of stiffness???? don’t come for Janet when your fave is a reject of J.A.C.=Janet,Aaliyah and Ciara! Your shade fails! Thank you but no thank you ????????????
Team Tennis shoe stan Girl like you should talk about somebody cancelation when you’re faves portion of Janet’s BET tribute was full of Cheerleading & Rhythmmic gymnastics moves. She was up there given me Mary Lou, Shannon Miller, and Damonique Dawes with a little Gabby Douglas then if you add a High School Cheerleading team with the male cheerleader jump and doing backflips yelling “Ya team” into a bull horn that sums up Tennis Shoes I mean Tinashe whole entire route I didn’t know if I should change the channel or give a 2.5 score like they do in the summer Olympics, now don’t be tacky because there’s more where that came from.
I wonder what the ACTUAL reason is. Did they perhaps cancel her booking to make room for a more in-demand star? Curious.
I’m happy Janet is coming back to Toronto next year, I missed the queen Due to being sick that day 🙁
YALL BETTER GATHER AROUND AND TRY TO DRAG ME AND FAIL MISERABLY WHILE YOU AT IT…….
I’D LIKE TO GATHER YALL AND APOLOGISE FOR THE COMMENTS I MADE ABOUT MOTHA JACKSON…… THEY WERE IGNORANT, TACKY, INMATURE AND VERY INHUMAN……. SO I’M DEEPLY SORRY FOR CROSSING THE LINE…. DEATH WISHES ARE NOT HUMAN AND ARE TOTALY NOT MY STYLE
I ALSO APOLOGISE TO GOD
AND I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST HER….. JUST FIRST COMMENTS THANGZ
Stfu trolling b****!!
OH AND I’M NOT A TROLL NEITHER AM I BGKC
There are some jealous people commenting. Janet is a legend period. She didnt even use her Jackson last name at one point, fired her dad, and banned all talks of her famous brothers for years. She paved the way. Beyonce is NOT a legend JUST YET. Beyonce is an icon, but has not done anything inovative nor groundbreaking. Beyonce’s catalog DOES NOT match her accolades. At least she can out sing and cares about her shows other then these new lackluster artist.
Moving on, Janet is in demand. Her tours have sold out within minutes, and she has added a 3rd leg in Arenas. She has her own label, and doing it her way…just like Prince..other then her 1st 2 albums were considered “flops” for the 80s…they still sold more then these new acts out with new albums such as Tinashe, Ciara, Jhene…ect…anyway during the disgusting blackballing for years her albums still certified platinum and Discipline went Gold in Japan..admist label issues. She is one of the few top selling female legends out..and can still sell out arenas…she has been tributed by MTV and BET. She has performed and won EVERYTHING. She has nothing to prove, nor compete with the lame industry. She has DONE EVERYTHING.
The new music is still lackluster, stop making excuses for her not to strive to release great stuff.
LOL, just stop. Running down a list of a exaggerated or insignificant factoids to try and prop her doesn’t change that she is yesterday’s news. “She has her own record label.” So do many over the hill acts who’ve been cold for so long that they can’t get a major to sign them. Janet is played out and you’ll get a harsh reminder of that when the first week sales of her new album are tallied.
Care to clarify who ‘many of the over the hill’ peeps your talking about?
But how tf do you know when her album is being released?
I don’t follow. U said that many over the hill acts form record labels. I asked u to clarify. So do it.
Janet SLAYED Charlotte last night…I mean she shut the whole city down…She sold out a 20,000 seat ampitheatre…Many people missed the show because there was just too much traffic and the area was not equipped for that kind of crowd, and it still was jam packed. I’ve never seen anything like that. I saw the Queen in person!!! Amazing night even if I did miss some of it because of shi**y Charlotte traffic and terrible parking. No woman can see Janet on the stage I’m sorry. It was CRAZY!!! I can’t even explain.
But back to the point….That’s why she is not doing iHeart…It’s just too much to do Raleigh, Charlotte, Vegas, Miami and Orlando in back to back days. She may seem superhuman but that is still too much. Anybody on here commenting that Janet is over….LMAO…I’m on too much of a high right now to even stoop down that low with you…You have no idea…Janet will never be over…She is a LEGEND, a machine and until you’ve had the full Janet experience, you will never get it.
@Janatic dont bother. These lessor stans can’t ever comprehend how a woman 30 years in the music game can be bowed down to enough to be offered a slot at such a prestigious event. While their faves are battling for chart positions and Facebook likes MOTHA is cancelling appearances that they’re faves are clawing to backfill.
Actually Janet’s been doing music since 1982 (for 33 years) and the entire Jackson family has been in business for 50 years. That’s quite an achievement especially for their family.
Oh yes Shady I know. Take her appearance on good times into account and its 38 years in the entertainment biz. Hell she’s spent more time in the biz then these noobs have even been alive. Stans be actin like shes new and trying to compete. They. Just. Dont. Know.
Oooh I’m being taken there with all these hater newbie comments. I. CAN. NOT. I’m bout to drag somebody if they do not recognize MOTHAS impact!
Her ears are very important to be able to give a great show hopefully she can get pass this and continue on this unbreakable journey/era.
prayers out to the ICONIC QUEEN
I’m just glad that Janet’s in good health and she’s able to continue on with the tour. You can’t win them all! It wouldn’t make since for her to overextend herself by running across the country for Vegas, then back to Miami for the next tour stop. That’s pushing it! I need Janet to be 100%, I won’t be seeing her til next year!
