Janet Jackson cancels Las Vegas tour dates

LOS ANGELES, Oct 3:  R&B icon Janet Jackson has cancelled upcoming concerts in Las Vegas in order to rest her vocal cords.
The Rhythm Nation superstar, 49, has been on the North American leg of her Unbreakable World Tour since the end of August, reported Billboard magazine.
She was due to bring her comeback shows to the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Sin City on October 9 and 10.
However, the extensive tour has affected her voice, and doctors have placed her on vocal rest.
The Las Vegas concerts have now been postponed to next year.
Jackson had to pull out of her performance at the iHeartRadio Festival in Las Vegas last month due to ear issues which prevented her from flying. (PTI)
