Janet Jackson has announced that she is abandoning her Australian tour and will leave Australia for ‘the next several days’ to be with her family during the Michael Jackson manslaughter trial involving Doctor Conrad Murray. The Dainty group, who are promoting the tour, have issued a statement :
After private discussions with her family regarding her late brother Michael Jackson, it became necessary for Miss Jackson to leave Australia for the next several days.
The concerts scheduled in Melbourne for this week on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday are now planned to take place in a special configuration at Rod Laver Arena for one night only on November 3rd. Tickets for all of the Melbourne shows will be honoured at the Nov. 3 concert.
Janet’s concerts on the Gold Coast and in Sydney are unaffected.
Janet Jackson has issued a statement to her Melbourne fans:
I want to thank my fans in Australia for their love, support and understanding. When I planned these shows, the schedule in California was completely different. After talking with my family last night, I decided we must be together right now. I’m looking forward to being with you for the Gold Coast, Sydney, and the Melbourne concerts. You are all so important to me. This saddens me in so many ways. I love you,” said Janet Jackson in this exclusive statement.
All ticket holders from all three Melbourne performances will be contacted with their re-allocated seating shortly.
