Janet Jackson's Mystery Illness Diagnosed

What was the mystery illness that forced Janet Jackson to postpone a string of dates on her Rock Witchu tour?

Migraines!

The singer, 42, suffers from vestibular migraine, a rare condition that induces the sensation of vertigo, her manager, Kenneth Crear, said in a statement.

"Janet wanted very much to resume her tour so as not to disappoint her fans, but she continued to suffer from vertigo and could not perform," Crear said. "She's a world-class entertainer and needs to be at the top of her game to give her fans the show they expect. She's feeling much better and is ready to hit the road again to finish the tour."

See how Janet Jackson got her famous "six pack."

Her tour resumes tonight in Washington, D.C.
