Jackson’s longtime producer Jimmy Jam told us she was adding more songs from her album to the set list. The postponements have some speculating whether she will complete her US dates, but the source tells us Jackson is committed to doing so and may even add more dates. Jackson was forced to postpone several US dates after a mystery surgery in December. On Thursday, Jackson tweeted, “I’ll be rescheduling our Unbreakable shows in Europe as soon as I can.” Her schedule was getting crazy, so we decided to pull this thing down. The Live Nation source continued, “She has other businesses - some music, some brand-related. And when you’re that ambitious, there becomes conflict.” When an artist cancels an entire leg or postpones pieces of the tour, the real reason is because they’re not selling,” the source said, adding, “It’s better to cancel than play a room that’s half-filled, especially if you’re Janet Jackson.”īut a source at Janet’s tour producers Live Nation insisted to Page Six that sales in Europe were “decent.” “We were a month out and still very positive about the shows, but it didn’t make any sense to keep all the dates. Jackson’s camp didn’t give an explanation for the cancellation, but an industry insider told us she hadn’t sold enough tickets.
