It looks like it's going to happen this time. Janet Jackson has postponed her Unbreakable tour a couple of times, because, you know, life and a baby happened.
Well, a couple of hours ago, Janet Jackson announced the dates for the State of the World Tour, a massive 56-date North American tour that will go from September all the way to the end of December.
Jackson announced the news with a video she posted on her website. During the video she addressed why she changed the name to State of the World:
"I decided to change the name of the tour: State of the World Tour. It's not about politics. It's about people, the world, relationships, and just love."
She also partially addressed the rumors that are swirling around her and her soon to be ex-husband Wissam Al Mana:
"Yes, I separated from my husband. We are in court and the rest is in God's hands."
