Hospital says Janet Jackson released

MONTREAL, Sept. 30 (UPI) -- U.S. pop star Janet Jackson was discharged from a Montreal hospital shortly after going there for an undisclosed illness, a hospital official said Tuesday.

"Yesterday evening she was checked into the Royal Victoria Hospital and left a couple of hours later," Rebecca Burns, spokeswoman for the McGill University Health Center, which runs the hospital, told People magazine Tuesday.

A statement issued by W&W Public Relations to the publication said the 42-year-old performer "got suddenly ill during the sound check" Monday and was rushed to the hospital.

People said no other details regarding Jackson's condition or the nature of her illness have been disclosed. The recording artist hopes to reschedule the canceled Montreal show, which is part of her Rock Witchu tour, her representatives said.

E! Online said Jackson also canceled last weekend's concert in Detroit because of "production constraints."

"A 42-year-old body can't handle what a 22-year-old body can," a source close to Jackson's boyfriend, rapper and producer Jermaine Dupri, told People. "I can tell you that she's definitely tired. It was probably exhaustion. She is doing back-to-back, three-hour shows, and her body isn't the same as it used to be."
