Janet Jackson has cancelled her performance at the DStv Delicious Festival in South Africa following the passing of her brother, Tito Jackson, a member of the Jackson 5.
The star was set to be one of the international headliners at the two-day festival on September 21 and 22.
Her management said: “Janet’s brother Tito passed away this past Sunday. Understandably, Janet has to cancel her appearance at the DStv Delicious Festival to be with her family.
“Plans are being made for Janet to return next year. She also thanks her South African fans for their support during this difficult time.”
The festival organisers are working to announce a new international headline act soon.
“We extend our deepest sympathies to Janet and her family,” they said.
“While many were excited to see her perform, we are doing our best to secure another top international act for the festival.”
