Janet Jackson was released from a Montreal hospital just two hours
after she arrived, a spokeswoman for the facility said Tuesday, but it
was still not clear why she was admitted.
The 42-year-old singer became "suddenly ill" and was taken to Royal
Victoria Hospital on Monday night shortly before her scheduled concert
in Montreal, which was canceled, according to a statement released by
W&W Public Relations.
Jackson was at Royal Victoria but was released two hours later, said
Rebecca Burns, representative for McGill University Health Centre,
which runs the hospital. Representaives for Jackson would not elaborate
on her condition Tuesday, simply saying that she was ill and was
"recuperating."
Meanwhile, Jackson's shows in Boston and Philadelphia on Wednesday
and Thursday were postponed and she was due to resume her tour in
Greensboro, N.C. on Saturday. There was no information on when those
shows would be rescheduled.
Jackson, who is on her first North American tour in seven years,
dropped out of her scheduled "Saturday Night Live" performance in March
because she had the flu, and her publicist said at the time that she
went to the hospital for treatment but was not admitted.
