Janet Jackson was set to headline this year’s DStv Delicious Festival alongside Jill Scott, however due to the recent passing of her brother Tito Jackson, Janet will no longer be performing at the festival.
DStv Delicious Festival organisers released the official statement below:
It is with heartfelt understanding that we announce Janet Jackson will no longer be able to headline the DStv Delicious Festival Powered by Lottostar due to pressing family commitments following the recent passing of her brother, Tito Jackson. We send our deepest condolences and support to Janet and her family during this time of mourning.
In communication with the Festival’s Management Team, Janet Jackson’s management team shared the following: “Janet’s brother Tito passed away this past Sunday. For obvious reasons, Janet has to cancel her performance at the DStv Delicious Festival to be with family. Management is making plans to come back next year. Janet also wishes to thank all of her South African fans for the warm and heart-felt support she’s receiving at this difficult time.”
We understand that many fans were excited to see Janet Jackson perform, and the Festival’s Management Team is actively working on securing a suitable international replacement headliner to ensure an unforgettable experience.
