Janet Jackson’s Mystery Illness Explained
October 16th, 2008
Janet Jackson’s has explained why the singer has been forced to cancel numerous dates on her current North American tour, saying she has suffered from migraine-related vertigo.
The 42-year-old put her ‘Rock Witchu’ tour on hold while she’s battled the illness, postponing every date since being hospitalized on September 29, canceling a show in Montreal, Canada.
In a statement released Wednesday (October 15), Kenneth Crear said “Janet wanted very much to resume her tour so as not to disappoint her fans, but she continued to suffer from vertigo and could not perform. She’s a world-class entertainer and needs to be at the top of her game to give her fans the show they expect. She’s feeling much better and is ready to hit the road again to finish the tour.”
Crear added that Jackson suffers from vestibular migraines, a rare condition that induces the sensation of vertigo.
