The tour will offer fans the chance to watch Jackson celebrate her 50th anniversary in entertainment while spotlighting 35 years of her 1989 album ‘Rhythm Nation 1814’.

In other news, Jackson recently revealed that she’s related to Stevie Wonder, Tracy Chapman and Samuel L. Jackson. Speaking on her relation to Wonder, Janet said: “Not a lot of people know that. He’s our cousin, on my mother’s side. So is Tracy Chapman, so is Samuel L. Jackson.”

Jackson recently recalled how she “doesn’t remember being asked” if she wanted to be a child star.

The singer, songwriter and performer opened up about the early days of her music career during a recent interview with BBC. In the discussion, she recalled what it was like growing up with famous siblings, and how she felt a sense of pressure to also go into the music industry.
