: NEW YORK (AP) — A representative for Janet Jackson says the singer has been hospitalized after falling ill shortly before a concert.
According to statement released by W&W Public Relations, the singer canceled her concert in Montreal on Monday after she "got suddenly ill" during her sound check and had to be rushed to the hospital just before show time.
The statement says Jackson is being monitored at the hospital and hopes to reschedule the show. No further information was given about Jackson's condition.
A phone call placed to W&W after hours went unanswered, and a representative did not immediately return an e-mail seeking more information.
Jackson, 42, is on a North American tour.
Dang MTO I thought it clearly stated before the concert not AFTER!! And for all you simple ones claiming it's b/c she's getting old, why cant it be that she just got sick?? So when Kelly Rowland colapse was it b/c she is getting old?? What about all the countless other young people that pass out does the same thing apply?? And why isnt Tina Turner falling out and Gladys ***?? What about Areatha?? Gee wiz always jumping to freakin conclusions!!
As for you Janet, please get better before the concert in Miami!!
NO BIG DEAL SHE IS GOING TO HAVE A CHILD BY JD AND THAT WOULD BE HIS SECOND CHILD AND JANE SECOND CHILD TO BECOUSE SHE AREADY HAVE A 20 SOMETHING GIRL THAT HER FAMILY IS RISING. AND SHE JUST GOT DROP OUT OF A RECORND DEAL. SO SHE HAVE TIME TO HAVE A CHILD ANDWHEN SHE RECOVER SHE WILL BE WEARRING BIG CLOTHES JUST LIKE JLO DID AT HER TOUR.
You guys are just wrong for your negative comments! The Chick is in the hospital I mean ... She just needs a break all the shows back to back would be tiring for anybody. I don't think it has anything to do with her age because she has passed out during her previous tours also when she was much younger. $hit I would pass out too if I had to do 2 hr and 30 minutes shows every ***... And if she's pregnant Congrats Janet! If not Get Well Soon!!!!
You know what, MTO? Y'all ain't fooling nobody. I just read this about Janet on Yahoo ENTERTAINMENT News, and this is a COPY OF THE EXACT SAME ARTICLE! So now we know for sure where you get your stories. From other entertainment news sites. Y'all cold busted. Someone on this site mentioned that a few weeks ago. They were right!

i remember Fantasia got sick too,...and Alicia Keys...Janet is 41 or 42 and look better than most! haters! they clicked on her though. why? to be happy that she is in the hospital? nah! they just wanna find another excuse to dis her. she's pretty, so all they got negative is age..which if you didn't know her, saw her walking down the street, you'd swear she was about 28 or so. Real talk!!!
Wow! Janet is sick in the hospital, for God's sakes!!!!
Some of you say the most demonic things, I mean, D@MN!!! What the *** is wrong with you some of you people on MTO????
Some of you, I see, are just natural born haters! Just hate on people for no D@MN reason!
Are your lives that miserable that you will say something so evil and malicious about someone? What if that was your Mother, Sister, Daughter... Etc... would you say that sh!t then??
I was in denial before, but I'm convinced now that the *** world is coming to an END! Just some of the nasty and vile things people say and do nowadays is simply digusting and it saddens me that people are just so hateful and have hate in their hearts!
Janet, I hope you get better soon so you continue to entertain your fans with your wonderful talent!
What does her getting old have to do with her getting sick? I only read the 1st 2 posts and got annoyed instantly. I didn't read the other posts, but to those who automatically jumped and said that she's getting old, how about ya'll show some kind of sympathy instead?? I can't believe how insensitive and ignorant some of ya'll can be. Now had that been one of your relatives, ya'll wouldn't have said that, right??
@Chocolate Kiss I see you and I are on the same page....
@ Jaye_Bird:
Wow!!
Are you that hard up for some attention?
Da|mn, you seem to be immature, but that's just my analysis of you based upon your posts...
You were actually one of the people I was referring to in my original post...
It's so sad to see people act like this, I mean, is it really that serious, honey???
@***....Why you want to see my face so you can holla you FUIT LOOP....You $2 Back Alley ***....What you wanna throw punches at my pic LOOL....Man please you really proving my point by acting like a BIACTH!! Don't be mad cause your cover blown...You like and TAKE wood its all good....They call R Kelly the Pied Piper...I think I you own that now bro...Look at you looking all sweet at the camera...
probably anxiety attack. either that or they lied because of poor ticket sales. in this day and age, the way the economy is acting up, no one is trying to pay over 100 bucks for concert tickets for someone who has reached her peak. I love Janet, I grew up on her, but I have rent to pay and I cant see myself paying 150 bucks for a ticket to see her at this point. maybe 10 years ago, but not now. all of her songs that I love are from 1986-2001.nothing really past that. I might catch it on HBO if if comes on
@***.....I don't know any real straight dudes that watch a *** movie like that...Wowsers you just keep right on exposing yourself even more...You riding dudes dycks up here trying to holla on the low...Admitting that you watch *** movies...Poses real pretty for the camera....Anything else you want us to know about your DL life...You FAIRY!!! Come better with something more than that my mother and I'm broker...YOU WHISTLE BLOWER!!!
@*** BYRD...you know who you are now bro...The reason I don't have a pic up here is simple...I DON'T WANT TO!!!..Does that answer your question...I'm a *** cause I didn't take the time to put a pic up here..Man you sound like a little girl...Oh yea how did it feel when you were raped by your father?????
Some of y'all is the most ungrateful creatures behind a computer screen that has ever faced this earth. The things y'all say about ppl is just out of this world. I see sum ppl saying "i hope she die and suffer heart attack".. like WTF.. u guys hate Janet Jackson with a passion tht much.. WTF she did to y'all.. Janet is such a sweet person and this what the *** gets for entertaining us all those yrs. I just don't understand Y she has so much hate after 2001 era especially from the "black" community.. Sometimes I wonder Y can't Madonna sit her *** down, and too tell you the truth I now have more respect for Mad.. cuz @ least her fans/community stick by her no matter what unlike Janet's which is buzzer.. Entertaining Monkeys is ridiculous .. anyway Janet.. I hope you get well soon. 1.. Yezirrrrrrrrrr!
@ Jaye_Bird

Na but for real, feel better, J. She's not a Spring chicken anymore. Maybe it's time she left the game alone and retired and enjoyed her life. Either way, I'm a 80s-early 90s Janet fan for life! I grew up on her! She was always in Control! (ha that was so corny).
But ***, MTO. Why'd you have to do her like that with that pic? You had better ones posted up last week!

HOPEFULY I CAN LOGG ON TOMORROW AND START SOME MORE *** WITH PEOPLE! YALL BE COOL!
This is getting old. When Janet doesn't feel like performing she suddenly "falls out". I'll never forget I had FRONT ROW SEATS to her Rhythm Nation concert in St. Louis back in the day. She did one song and then ran off stage, and never re-scheduled. I was beyond disappointed and furious. I've never had front row to anything since, and I got one song out of it. Of course I hope she is alright, but this has happened many times so I am suspicious of how "sick" she is.
You can tell quite a few very young people post on here. Since when is 41 or 42 considered "old?" Janet looks great, dances great and is still a young woman.
I guess to someone who's <19 or 20, 41 seems old to you. Well, its not.
The issue that concerns me is this is her second time getting ill on tour.
WELL SHES OUT THE HOSP NOW ;)
Janet Jackson Released From Montreal Hospital Singer's Rock Witchu Tour scheduled to resume Wednesday in Boston.
By Jocelyn Vena
Janet Jackson has been released from the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal, a hospital spokesperson told People.com on Tuesday (September 30). She was discharged after spending two hours at the hospital on Monday *** for a still-undisclosed ailment.
"Yesterday evening she was checked into the Royal Victoria Hospital and left a couple of hours later," Rebecca Burns, the spokeswoman for the McGill University Health Centre, which operates the hospital, told People.com.
The singer, currently on her Rock Witchu Tour, "got suddenly ill during the sound check" in Montreal and had to be rushed to the hospital, a rep for W&W Public Relations told TMZ.com. E! Online reported that Jackson hopes to reschedule the tour stop.
The tour, which also features LL Cool J, is slated to continue through October 22, although Jackson's Wednesday show at TD Banknorth Garden in Boston has been postponed "due to illness," according to the venue's Web site. Her Philadelphia concert on Thursday was still on schedule at press time.
It's been a bumpy tour — and year — for Jackson. On Friday, she postponed a show in Detroit due to "production constraints," according to TMZ. Last week, Jackson announced that she would be parting ways with Island Def Jam Records after just 14 months. The singer's publicist noted that the label agreed to dissolve the relationship upon Jackson's request.
In March, Jackson released an album that reflected a return to her mid-'80s Control era in more ways than just the title. But since debuting at #1, the album has sold disappointingly, according to SoundScan. In interviews, Jackson hinted that she was unhappy with the way things were working out with the label.
Monday's ailment isn't the first illness that Jackson has battled this year. In April, while promoting Discipline, Jackson missed an appearance on "Saturday *** Live" due to illness. Boyfriend Jermaine Dupri told MTV News she had bronchitis.

I see the hater workshop is always open. To all of the bad minded and evil spirited folks saying she's too this and too that and pointing out other peoples' flaws...I know hurt people hurt people, so take care of your own internal demons and you will feel less compelled to cut others down to make yourself look good. Feel better (((((J)))))) and ignore the ignorance.
