Janet Jackson pulls out of show an hour before performance

Janet Jackson cancelled a show in Sydney on Sunday after taking ill just hours before she was due to perform on stage.

The singer cut short he Up Close And Personal tour Down Under last month, so she could return to the States to support her family during the trial of Dr Conrad Murray, who is accused of killing her brother Michael.

Jackson returned to Oz last week to resume the tour, but the star had to scrap her Saturday night performance at the Sydney Opera House just an hour before the show was supposed to start after she was ordered to rest her voice.

A statement from promoters reads: "Doctors have ordered Miss Jackson to undertake vocal rest for the next two days, so she can complete the 3rd and final show of her Australian tour, this Tuesday night at the Sydney Opera House.

"Unfortunately, there will not be a replacement concert scheduled, so all patrons will receive a full refund..."

Jackson is due to take to the stage for her final show at the Sydney Opera House on Tuesday.
