"We're in the second leg of the tour, and there actually has
been a sudden change," Jackson, 49, said in a video selfie
posted on her Twitter account.
"My husband and I are planning our family, so I'm going to have
to delay the tour. Please if you could try and understand that
it's important that I do this now. I have to rest up, doctor's
orders," Jackson said.
Jackson, who has no children, did not clarify whether she was
pregnant, hoped to become pregnant, or was planning to adopt.
Her representatives did not respond to requests for comment.
Wednesday's cryptic announcement followed a delay in December in
Jackson's "Unbreakable" world tour when she announced she had to
undergo unspecified surgery. A month later, she denied rumors
that she had cancer.
Jackson, the fiercely private youngest child of the famed
Jackson singing family, married her third husband, Qatari
businessman Wissam al Mana, in 2012.
The tour, Jackson's first in four years, was launched in August
2015. The second leg was due to begin in Las Vegas in May and
play multiple dates in the United States and Canada through
August.
Jackson, who looked happy and wore a white collared shirt in the
video, said she has not forgotten her fans and will continue the
"Unbreakable" tour as soon as she can. She thanked her dancers,
band, crew and fans for their love, support and loyalty.
