Janet Jackson [1] kicked off her Unbreakable world tour at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada, on Monday night. The iconic singer hit the stage in an all-white ensemble and was joined by a group of young girls — her "JTribe" — while singing and dancing for the crowd [2]. A New York Times review of the show [3] reports that Janet performed both older hits — like "Nasty," "Control," "That's the Way Love Goes," and "Rhythm Nation" — as well as songs from her upcoming 11th album, Unbreakable.
It's been four years since Janet went on tour and nearly seven since she released new music; the singer has been lying low in the Middle East, where she reportedly lives with her husband, Qatari billionaire Wissam Al Mana [4]. Most recently, we saw Janet slaying the stage at the BET Awards in late June [5], where she was honored with the ultimate icon award.
