Janet Jackson Postpones Moda Center Date…Again

The singer has pushed back her tour for the second time to begin "planning" a family.

Will Portland ever get to see Janet Jackson live again?

On Wednesday, the singer announced on Youtube she was postponing the second leg of her Unbreakable world tour because she and her husband, billionaire businessman Wissam Al Mana, are "planning" their family. It wasn't immediately clear how long the delay would be, or what shows would be affected. But today, her July 3 stop at Moda was officially pushed back to an as-yet-undetermined date in 2017.

It's the second time in three months Jackson has rescheduled her tour. In January, she postponed a slew of dates, including the original Portland concert set for Jan. 12, for an undisclosed medical issue.

All tickets for the eventual concert will be honored, if and when it happens. Refunds are also available at point of purchase.
