Janet Jackson rumors of cancer as reason for postponing ‘Unbreakable’ tour, says she is ‘recovering’

Janet Jackson

Janet Jackson  says she is on the road to recovery.

The “Control” singer posted a lyric music video and brief message on her social media accounts Wednesday to debunk rumors about her health, following her announcement last month that she needed to postpone her “Unbreakable” world tour to have an unspecified surgical procedure.

“The rumors are untrue, I do not have cancer,” the message stated. “I’m recovering.”

Jackson’s statement seemed to be made in response to a recent Radar Online report alleging she feared she had cancer after doctors found a growth on her vocal cords.

The 49-year-old star also assured fans that her “doctors have approved my concerts as scheduled in Europe, and as I promised, the postponed shows will be rescheduled.”

The singer’s European tour dates are scheduled to resume in the spring, starting with her concert in Birmingham, England on March 30.

Besides thanking her fans for their love and prayers, Jackson also relayed her thoughts about speculation about her condition via “The Great Forever,” a song on her latest album “Unbreakable.”

“Not too pleased with what you're diggin' / I'm just busy livin' my life / Sources say but where ya gettin' it /Don't create the truth you like,” she sings on the track.
