LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
After cancelling several dates, Janet Jackson will resume her “Rock Witchu” tour tonight at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C., Access Hollywood has learned.
The singer’s symptoms that forced her to cancel stops on her tour are being caused by a rare form of a migraine called vestibular migraine or migraine-associated vertigo.
Janet is currently receiving treatment, according to a statement released to Access.
“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,” Janet’s manager Kenneth Crear said in statement released to Access. “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.”
The “Rock Witchu” tour is Janet’s first North American tour in seven years.
