Janet Jackson was hospitalized earlier this week due after a bout with vertigo, according to her brother Randy on Thursday.
Jackson was hospitalized Monday night while on her Rock Witchu Tour stop in Montreal. She apparently got sick during a sound check prior to her scheduled performance in Montreal. She was rushed to Royal Victoria Hospital and released a few hours later.
At the time of her hospitalization, reports said she was hospitalized for an "unknown illness". However, her brother Randy made a comment on a Michael Jackson fan site, stating that his youngest sister Janet had a bout with vertigo. "Janet is doing okay, she suffers from vertigo," said Randy.
Vertigo is a disturbance of the equilibrium that causes dizziness or the sensation of falling while the body is actually stationary with respect to the surroundings.
Jackson canceled her performance at Montreal's Bell Centre for the night. Her shows in Boston on Wednesday and Philadelphia on Thursday have also been postponed. She will resume her Rock Witchu tour on Saturday in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Last week she called off a concert in Detroit due to "production restraints," local media said. In April, while promoting Discipline, Jackson missed an appearance on "Saturday Night Live" due to bronchitis, according to MTV News.
