Jackson’s
NUMBER ONES: Up Close & Personal tour is her largest-ever world tour. Janet will dedicate a selected #1 song to each of her fan-suggested stops. The show will be taking place in Cape Town, South Africa on 15 November. There are limited tickets available, so to avoid disappointment, book now at Computicket.
The tour, in which the superstar sets out to perform a selection of songs from her impressive 35 #1 hits, has recorded SRO engagements throughout Asia, North America and Europe and due to such enthusiasm from fans and critics, the
NUMBER ONES: Up Close & Personal Tour has been extended to expand past the original 35 cities. Of her upcoming engagement in Cape Town, the icon has said, “I just know that it feels wrong, when I’m away too long … Can’t wait to see you, Cape Town.”
In addition to her rigorous tour schedule, Jackson has headed record-setting fundraising events for HIV/AIDS research and treatment, including hosting recent balls in Cannes and Vienna, which topped all prior fundraising amounts of those events. Prior to her upcoming tour appearance in Canada, Jackson entertained in France for a giant fund-raiser where she became the first female artist ever to perform at the Louvre in the extraordinary IM Pei glass pyramid, raising funds for that most famous of museums.
Jackson's current tour differs from her previous concert schedules of years past in that she will perform music exclusively from her chart topping CD,
NUMBER ONES. There is also a focus on venues that will allow Jackson to be 'up close and personal' in a much more intimate setting. In each selected city, Jackson will offer something different to her performance so that no show will be the same. This tour is Jackson more revealed, more intimate, and more personal than ever before.
She will also be selecting the first fan winner of the contest in voting for the each of the selected cities. The winner will be announced on
www.JanetJackson.com and they will receive an autographed copy of
NUMBER ONES and an autographed copy of her upcoming book,
True You (in stores now).
Her
New York Times bestseller,
True You, published by Karen Hunter Publishing, an imprint of Gallery Books at Simon & Schuster is currently in stores and is continuing to climb the charts. Jackson's first book reveals her unique, insider's perspective on dieting and exercise - from her past, present and her future.
True You chronicles Jackson's lifelong struggles with weight and self-esteem. The book is a self-help/esteem book where Jackson uses anecdotes from her real life to illustrate the power of self-esteem and how she struggles and her continued growth as an artist and a woman.
