Janet Jackson cancels Sydney show at last minute

Mon 7 Nov 2011

Janet Jackson was last night forced to cancel her second Sydney show under doctors orders.

Minutes before the show was scheduled to start, a statement was released explaining that Jackson's show had been cancelled in the interest of ensuring Jackson could complete her tour with the final show scheduled for Tuesday night.

The statement read: "it is with regret that Dainty Group announces that tonight's Janet Jackson Number Ones: Up Close and Personal concert, at the Sydney Opera House, cannot proceed.

"Doctors have ordered Miss Jackson to undertake vocal rest for the next 2 days, so she can complete the 3rd and final show of her Australian tour, this Tuesday night at the Sydney Opera House.

"Unfortunately, there will not be a replacement concert scheduled, so all patrons will receive a full refund at the Sydney Opera House Box office tonight or from the point of purchase."

The statement comes after reports that the first Sydney show on Saturday night was affected by complications. The promoters have since stated the late start was due to traffic delays for the audience and assured her fans that she performed her concert in full.

Ticket holders have been requested to contact the Sydney Opera House Box Office on 02 9250 7777 for refund information.
