Pop diva Janet Jackson has announced she will tour for the first time in seven years, kicking off the jaunt September 20th in Vancouver. The singer announced the news today, and revealed that she didn’t tour her 2006 album ‘20 Y.O.’ after her record label asked her not to, despite the fact that she was already in preparation mode. “I was supposed to go on tour with the last album,” Jackson told the Associated Press. “We were actually in full-blown tour rehearsals at that point … learning numbers, getting everything together, set designs, I had to kind of shut everything down and go into the studio.” The result was Jackson’s new album ‘Discipline’, which was released in February.
