Janet Jackson may not be appearing at this year's DStv Delicious Festival.
A few months ago, it was announced that the US star would be headlining the festival and South Africans expressed excitement.
However, following the death of her relative, organizers released a statement acknowledging Jackson's grief.
The festival has promised to update fans if any changes occur.
“We, along with the rest of the world, recently learned of the sad and untimely passing of Tito Jackson, brother of 2024 DStv Delicious Festival headliner Janet Jackson. Our heartfelt condolences go out to the entire Jackson family at this difficult time.”
“At this time, we are in contact with Janet Jackson's team and no decisions have been made regarding her performance at the festival, but we are committed to keeping the public and media informed as more information becomes available.”
“This news is still very new so we ask for your consideration and understanding at this time. We will provide updates as they become available, and we ask the media to avoid speculation during these uncertain times. We thank you for your continued support and understanding,” the statement read.
