Janet Jackson, 42, has been hospitalized after falling ill shortly before a concert
last night in Montreal, according to her publicist.

According to a 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.

Janet’s North American ”Rock Witchu” tour, her first outing in
seven years, kicked off Sept. 10 in Vancouver and runs through Oct. 28. In between
shows last week Janet swung through New York to help her boo
Jermaine Dupri celebrate his 36th birthday on Tuesday at Tenjune. She returned
to work on Thursday at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Ill. However on Friday, the
day before she was set to perform at The Palace of Auburn Hills (Mich.), that show
was rescheduled to Oct. 28 due to “production constraints,” according
to reports quoting tour publicist Kitara Garner. She’s scheduled for three
more shows this week, beginning Wednesday in Boston.

Get well soon Ms. Janet!
