The DStv Delicious Festival organizers have regretfully announced that Janet Jackson will not be performing at the event this Saturday due to the passing of her brother, Tito Jackson.
Despite the disappointment, the management is working hard to secure a replacement headliner for the festival to ensure an incredible experience for attendees.
In a statement by DStv Delicious Festival, they shared:
“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.”
Janet Jackson’s management team emphasised to her South African fans, saying:
“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.”
