Janet Forced To Postpone More Shows; TGJ Contest Update

Following the postponement of two dates on Janet Jackson’s acclaimed ‘Rock Witchu Tour’ last week, a rep for the Pop Icon has announced that there are unfortunately more delays:

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Janet Jackson has postponed three more shows because of an undisclosed illness.

Her publicist said in an e-mail late Saturday that Jackson was postponing a Saturday show in Greensboro, N.C., one on Sunday in Atlanta and a third on Tuesday in Fort Lauderdale.

A statement from Jackson said she arrived in Greensboro, N.C., hoping to perform there Saturday, but a local doctor advised that she not perform after it became “evident” she was not fully recovered.

Representatives for the 42-year-old singer say she became “suddenly ill” and was hospitalized Monday night in Montreal shortly after she arrived for a show. She also canceled concerts in Boston and Philadelphia on Wednesday and Thursday.

Jackson’s publicist did not elaborate Saturday, only saying she was “recuperating.” The note said Jackson will return home, at her doctor’s direction, for further treatment.

In the note Jackson asked people to keep their tickets for the postponed shows, and said the promoter is working to reschedule dates. {Source}

After the phenomenol response the tour has received, I’m really hoping Janet has a speedy recovery to get back to doing what she does best – thrilling audiences.

As I’m sure you’ll understand, the postponement of the dates has thrown a spanner into the sequencing of our ‘That Grape Juice Wants To Rock Witchu’ contest. Not to worry though, we’ve tweaked things slightly so as to give you all a fair chance of winning tickets to see Ms. Jackson and ample time to create your video entries.
