Last month, Janet Jackson announced her decision to postpone her Unbreakable tour to undergo surgery. More recently, it has been revealed that the “Control” singer is seeking treatment for a possibly cancerous throat tumor.
While Jackson herself has not yet spoken out on the recent revelation, a source reportedly told Radar of Jackson’s health condition.
“Doctors found a growth on Janet’s vocal cords that could be serious. It’s a medical condition that has to be taken care of immediately.”
Just days after Christmas, Jackson took to social media to announce that she must undergo surgery.
“I need you to know, I learned today, from my doctors that I must have surgery soon. It breaks my heart to tell you that I am forced to postpone the Unbreakable Tour until the spring,” she captioned a photo on Instagram.
At the time, she did not specify what type of surgery or why, she did confirm that each date would be rescheduled and previously purchased tickets will be honored.
“Every date will be rescheduled. Please hold on to your tickets. They will be honored in a special way when the new schedule is announced.”
Jackson also asked fans for prayers and asserted that she would not comment further on the matter. This is the second time the “No Sleeep” vocalist has taken a medical break on this tour. In October, was ordered to undergo vocal rest and subsequently forced to cancel dates in Denver, Salt Lake City, St. Louis and Kansas City. The following month, she announced the new dates.
Jackson’s tour is in support of her eleventh studio effort, Unbreakable. Following its October release, the LP became her seventh No. 1 album.
