Janet Love has spoken directly to Janet’s official representative Patti Webster asking whether the recent report on MSNBC.com which suggested a “rep” for Janet had spoken to the site – and denied rumours that she would not perform at the O2 in London – was true.

In a short written statement to Janet Love, Patti Webster confirmed:

“None of Janet’s reps have announced anything [regarding an appearance by Janet at the O2]“.

It is not uncommon for some media organisations to simply quote a “rep” or “friend” without using their name when a story has been fabricated.

Janet Love will of course bring you any announcement should one be made regarding Janet’s appearance at any Michael Jackson tribute shows in London.

In an interview with France 2, a French television channel, Jermaine Jackson has given the strongest hint yet that Janet will appear alongside her brothers in a show at London’s O2 Arena on 29th August to celebrate the life of Michael Jackson.

He said: “There has been talk that we are going to do something at the O2 on the 29th with my brothers and also Janet.

“But just know this: there will be never be another Jackson 5.

“We’ll be just The Jacksons, because I feel that Michael played a very, very important part in the Jackson 5 and to do that would not be fair to him. We will tour and he will be with us always.”

Janet tonight cancelled her Greensboro show hours before it was due to begin. She has also cancelled her show tomorrow in Atlanta. In a press release issued by the Greensboro Coliseum, it stated that Janet was advised not ot perform by a local doctor.

Due to illness, tonight’s (October 4) Janet Jackson concert at Greensboro Coliseum has been postponed.  A recent illness caused the postponement of previous dates on her Rock Witchu Tour in Montreal, Boston and Philadelphia.

Janet arrived in Greensboro hoping to perform tonight in an effort not to disappoint her fans. However, after arriving at the Coliseum it became evident she had not fully recovered. A local doctor advised that she not perform this evening.

Ticketholders are encouraged to hold on to their tickets pending a future announcement regarding the rescheduled date.

Patrons who wish to obtain a refund may do so beginning on Monday, October 6th at their respective point of purchase.

Whilst a new date has not yet been announced for the Greensboro show, Janet has also cancelled tomorrow’s concert in Atlanta and will instead perform there on October 19th. All tickets are still valid.
