After missing three more shows of her Rock Witchu Tour last week, due to an undisclosed illness, doctors have ordered Janet Jackson to postpone her return to the road.
According to the Associated Press, the singer was scheduled to resume her tour Monday night (October 13) at the Turning Stone Resort in New York, just after canceling a show over the weekend in Connecticut.
A message was posted on the resort and casino's website stated the show had been canceled at the advice of Jackson's doctor.
Now, she's postponed several more shows, including Thursday night's show at Madison Square Garden in New York. However, promoters say the dates will be rescheduled.
Since falling last month, there's been no official word as to what is ailing Jackson. She was rushed to a hospital in Montreal before a concert in late September.
This is Jackson's first North American tour in seven years.
