Janet Jackson concerts postponed

Janet Jackson concerts postponed

Janet Jackson has returned to the US just days before she was scheduled to perform at Melbourne’s Arts Centre as part of her Number Ones: Up Close and Personal tour.

In a statement released by her tour promoters, Jackson said that after private discussions with her family regarding her late brother, Michael Jackson, it became necessary for her to leave Australia for the next several days.

“When I planned these shows, the schedule in California was completely different,” she said.

“After talking with my family last night, I decided we must be together right now.”

Jackson’s Melbourne concerts – scheduled for Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday this week – have now rescheduled for November 3 for one night only at Rod Laver Arena.

Tickets for all of the Melbourne shows will be honoured at that event.

“It is important that Janet is with her family at this critical point in the hearing,” said promoter Paul Dainty.

“While Janet and our company apologise for any inconvenience for the reschedule of the Melbourne shows, we thank Janet for the great and successful concerts in Perth and Adelaide and eagerly await her return.”

Jackson’s concerts on the Gold Coast and in Sydney are unaffected.

Ticket holders from all three Melbourne performances will be contacted with their re-allocated seating shortly.

“I’m looking forward to being with you for the Gold Coast, Sydney, and the Melbourne concerts,” Jackson said.

“You are all so important to me. This saddens me in so many ways. I love you.”
