Janet Jackson has Vertigo
October 15, 2008 | Category: Celebrities!, Concerts
Janet Jackson was suffering from ‘migraine-associated vertigo’, but is now ready to get this show on the road, according to her manager. The Rock Witchu tour will resume Wednesday night at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C., after being forced to postpone nine shows.
“After a thorough medical evaluation, it has been confirmed that Janet’s symptoms are being caused by a rare form of migraine called vestibular migraine or migraine-associated vertigo for which she is currently receiving treatment,” read a statement released by Jackson’s camp and reported by E! News.
She has not performed since falling ill Sept. 29 during a sound check before the Montreal show. “Janet wanted very much to resume her tour so as not to disappoint her fans, but she continued to suffer from vertigo and could not perform,” her manager, Kenneth Crear, said.
“She’s a world-class entertainer and needs to be at the top of her game to give her fans the show they expect. She’s feeling much better and is ready to hit the road again to finish the tour.”
Shows scrapped in Montreal, Philadelphia, Boston, Greensboro, N.C., Atlanta, Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Uncasville, Conn., Verona, N.Y., and Manhattan are being rescheduled. No dates have been announced.
‘Migraine-associated vertigo’ ??? Maybe she should perform at Andre Laurendeau… the stage there is only 2 feet off the ground.
