The Associated Press is reporting that Janet Jackson has cancelled the remaining dates of her “Rock Witchu” tour. This news comes just short of a month after the singer restarted the tour.

The 42-year-old singer is not choreographing any makeup dates for the seven “Rock Witchu” tour performances that were initially postponed because of her illness “due to conflicts in the singer’s schedule,” said a statement released by tour organizer Live Nation on Tuesday.

The canceled stops, originally scheduled Sept. 29 to Oct. 13, include: Montreal; Boston; Philadelphia; Greensboro, N.C.; Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; Uncasville, Conn.; and Syracuse, N.Y.

Jackson’s publicist previously said she had been suffering from migraine-associated vertigo, which led to her canceling the string of shows. She was being treated for the illness, which is characterized by dizziness, imbalance and other symptoms.

According to Janet Jackson’s rep, the 42-year-old entertainer is “feeling much better.” After weeks of speculation that the pop singer might be pregnant with JD’s child, the mystery illness that prohibited Janet from performing her shows has been revealed.

“[Janet is] a world-class entertainer and needs to be at the top of her game to give her fans the show they expect,” manager Kenneth Crear said in the statement. “She’s feeling much better and is ready to hit the road again.”

As we reported earlier this morning, Janet is set to return to the stage tonight in D.C., and Thursday’s show in Madison Square Garden (NYC) has been postponed to November 1st. All of the other postponed dates haven’t been worked out 100% yet, but her rep says that they will be announced shortly.

Janet Jackson has left Island Def Jam Recording label, as confrimed by producer Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins from his recent vlog on Rap-Up.

There had been speculation that the youngest Jackson was having issues with the label, but we now have confirmation that she has been released from her contract. Janet signed to Island Def Jam in 2007 and released Discipline, her first album on the label, in February of this year. It debuted at No. 1, but sold less in its first week than Janet’s last two albums, 2006’s 20 Y.O. and 2004’s Damita Jo. Jerkins produced the album’s first single “Feedback” and follow-up “Luv.”

“We didn’t get the support from the record company,” he discloses. “[Janet] felt like it wasn’t pushed. I felt like it wasn’t pushed correctly. She just didn’t get her just due as an artist of that magnitude.”

Jerkins also shares his thoughts on Janet’s Rock Witchu Tour and looks to the future. “I could make an album with her, possibly me, Jimmy Jam, and Terry Lewis. Keep it real simple. They focus on what they’re great at, I focus on what I’m great at. We come together and make a classic Janet record.”

Due to the faithful YouTubers and Janet fans who attended the concert in Vancouver posted videos and comments on how much they loved the seeing the show. Janet Jackson replies in video form! Check it out above.
