Janet Jackson reschedules Atlanta concert at Philips Arena

BY MELISSA RUGGIERI

The Rhythm Nation will return this summer.

After postponing her spring tour due to undisclosed surgery, Janet Jackson has rescheduled all of the dates.

She will now play Philips Arena Aug. 7 and will launch the latest U.S. leg of the tour May 14 in Las Vegas.

Jackson was originally slated to perform at Philips on March 3. All tickets purchased for that show will be honored, or refunds are available at point of purchase.

Tickets to Jackson's Atlanta concert are $45-$125 and available via all Ticketmaster outlets, www.ticketmaster.com and by calling 1-800-745-3000.

The singer took to social media last week to refute reports that her surgery was to remove a cancerous tumor from her vocal cords.
