About The Tour
Rumors of Jackson touring were sparked during promotion of her last studio album 20 Y.O., where Jackson stated in many interviews that she was preparing for a tour. The unnamed tour was canceled abruptly when Jackson was asked to record new material. Jackson stated:
"I was supposed to go on tour with the last album We were actually in full-blown tour rehearsals at that point ... learning numbers, getting everything together, set designs I had to kind of shut everything down and go into the studio."
In early 2008 on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Jackson announced that she would go on tour. The audience was given free tickets to her show at the Staples Center. While planning the tour, Jackson started a phone line where fans could call in and request songs to be performed. Jackson will be performing all of her memorable hits, including those from her pre-Control days. The two and a half hour show kicked off in Vancouver on September 10, 2008 to rave reviews.

Famous quotes containing the word tour:
“Left Washington, September 6, on a tour through Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and Virginia.... Absent nineteen days. Received every where heartily. The country is again one and united! I am very happy to be able to feel that the course taken has turned out so well.”
