Billboard.com reports that three months after postponing numerous Unbreakable Tour dates to undergo surgery, Janet Jackson has reportedly canceled those rescheduled European tour dates.

Jackson's European tour dates have been removed from Ticketmaster's site. Billboard reached out to Jackson's rep for comment and did not hear back at time of publishing. In early 2016, not long after postponing the now canceled dates, Jackson shot down rumors that her surgery was related to cancer.

Janet Jackson is an American singer, songwriter, dancer and actress. Known for a series of sonically innovative, socially conscious and sexually provocative records, as well as elaborate stage shows, television and film roles, she has been a prominent figure in popular culture for over 30 years. The youngest child of the Jackson family, she began her career with the variety television series The Jacksons in 1976 and went on to appear in other television shows throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, including Good Times and Fame.

After signing a recording contract with A&M Records in 1982, she became a pop icon following the release of her third studio album Control (1986). Her collaborations with record producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis incorporated elements of rhythm and blues, funk, disco, rap, and industrial beats, which led to crossover success in popular music.
