On Christmas Eve, Janet Jackson announced that she was postponing her upcoming world tour due to an unspecific medical issue that required surgery. Yesterday, reports surfaced that doctors had found a tumor on her vocal cords, possibly cancerous. Today, Jackson has responded to the rumors by tweeting a video of the track “The Great Forever” off of her new album Unbreakable, which includes lyrics like “Sources say but where ya gettin’ it/ Don’t create the truth you like.” The video concludes with a message declaring that “The rumors are untrue. I do not have cancer. I’m recovering. My doctors have approved my concerts as scheduled in Europe, and as I promised, the postponed shows will be rescheduled.”
