Janet Jackson pulls more US shows

Janet Jackson has postponed more shows on her North American tour after being taken ill earlier this week.

The singer has pulled gigs in North Carolina and Georgia this weekend, along with a concert in Florida which was scheduled to go ahead on Tuesday (October 7).

As previously reported on NME.COM, Jackson was taken ill during a soundcheck in Montreal last Monday (September 29.)

She cancelled further shows in Boston and Philadelphia and was set to resume her tour over the weekend.

But her doctor said it was "evident" that she had not fully recovered, according to a statement released by the musician's representatives, reports BBC News.

They also said Jackson will return home for further treatment and was "recuperating". No further information about her condition has been released.
