According to Atlanta’s ratings leader V-103, Janet Jackson’s Rock Witchu Tour has been canceled!
Janet’s tour had been plagued by cancellations since Janet complained of dizziness at a sound check in Montreal last month and had to be rushed to a hospital.
Her management and tour promoter are sticking to their stories that Janet is sick and under a doctor’s care. But critics point to the fact that Janet was released from the hospital only two hours after she was admitted to the ER — not enough time for her to be treated for anything serious.
Some bloggers, myself included, don’t believe Janet is sick at all. It’s more likely that Janet is loving the attention she’s getting from all these cancellations. This is probably more attention than Janet has received in a long time.
Other bloggers are speculating that Janet is pregnant. Even if she was pregnant — which she isn’t — it’s kind of early to be rushing to the hospital and canceling shows when she isn’t even showing. We wish those clueless rumor mongers would find something else better to do with their time.
The news of the cancellation comes on the heels of two more cancellations by Janet following an announcement that Janet’s tour would resume this past weekend in CT.
Visit V-103 for more details.
Janet’s ticket prices averaged 130.00 + the current state of the economy = Low Ticket Sales or a mystery illness
I DONT THINK SHE WAS UP TO THE TOUR FROM THE BEGINNING. ALL THE DATES, JET-LAG, PRACTICE ETC.
REMEBER WHEN THE SPICE GIRLS CUT THEIR TOUR SHORT? THEY REALLY WASNT UP TO IT. AND WHO SAYS YOU CANT CHANGE YOUR MIND/ when you do change your mind like that you loose some fans
Even if she is pregnant with twins, LJO, although more fit than Janet(I only say that because Janets weight fluctuates constantly)was doing her thing. JLo is 3 yrs younger but I think this does have to do with low ticket sales or just missing home. I don’t think it has been reported that JD was at the hospital when she went, also JLO went on tour with her hubby.
I think its low ticket sales, that’s messed up for her fans. The tickets are expensive but if I really love someone, I’m willing to cough up mula. Im gonna see Madonna in 2 weeks here in Chicago and her tickets were 3x as much money as Janets. I paid $350 for first level seats and both of her shows are sold out!
*I have been wanting to see Madonna my whole life and when the tickets went on sale I knew I could afford it, so I went for it. No regrets, and I know she will give me my moneys worth, don’t judge me, lol!
I had tickets for her show in Philadelphia. I looked forward to it because her set list included ALL of the hits (I was not interested in going to hear stuff from Damita Jo or 20 y.o. — sorry).
My only problem now is — I want my money back and I haven’t heard any details on reimbursement.
DAMN-IT JANET !!!
Poor janet, I really wanted to see her in concert this time around.
Hey E-Love … You are STILL E-married to my HunE .. just to let u know… lol
Time to have those babies Miss.Jackson, let me know when your ready……….
Maybe her feeling were hurt when bloggers talked about her using (molesting) the same guy from a concert yrs ago
My best friend enjoyed her performance when she came to Oakland. Luckily it was like her second show/stop.
i didn’t really think she was sick, but i didn’t think it was the ticket sales either. her first 5 shows grossed over $4mill. someone posted the stats on another board. i don’t know whats going on with her, but i hope everything is aight, real talk.

Hi Goat – there you go……….

you don’t have to be showing to be sick during pregnancy…that’s a ridiculous statement…and until you go through the motions of being pregnant and actually carrying a baby for 9-months (full-term) and deliver….then you HAVE NO IDEA!!!!!
Well she may grossed, but she isn’t getting all of it LOL.People grow broke after they hit tour.Who knows why she canceling, but people don’t like wasting money now and days.But if she sick I can see the reason, but I don’t know what to make of it.

@ Sharonda
of course she’s not pocketing all of it, i was just stating that ticket sales aren’t the issue. at least it doesn’t look like it lol
When I was pregnant with my first child, I was hospitalized within two weeks of conception due to hydration from hyper-emesis. I couldn’t even keep my own saliva down let alone a glass of water. It was terrible. I practically lived in the hospital for the first trimester of my pregnancy until the “morning sickness” subsided.
*dehydration*
