She may have temporarily lost control, but Janet Jackson insists she’s going to be on top form for her Dubai show later this month.
The Unbreakable singer is due to close out the Dubai World Cup, the world’s richest horse racing event, on March 26.
Organisers today confirmed to GN Focus in a statement that the show would go ahead.
“The Janet Jackson Unbreakable Concert at the Dubai World Cup is going ahead as planned. Janet looks forward to participating in this wonderful event and to seeing everyone at Meydan on the 26th March,” they said via email, quoting Jackson’s management.
The 49-year-old singer cancelled her European tour this week, after previously postponing North American tour dates. She initially explained that she needed an urgent operation, but offered no details. The sister of “King of Pop” Michael Jackson later elaborated only by denying rumours that she had cancer.
Jackson’s website still lists her US shows, which are scheduled to resume on May 14 in Las Vegas, Gulf News reported earlier. However, Ticketmaster has refunded ticket purchases for her UK tour, scheduled to begin March 30 - after her date with Dubai.
Jackson, who is married to Qatari businessman Wissam Al Mana, has not performed since a tour of Japan in November that followed a string of North American dates.
Tickets for the Dubai World Cup are available from www.meydan.ae
