MONTREAL - A spokesperson for the McGill University Health Centre says pop star Janet Jackson was discharged from the Royal Victoria Hospital about two hours after she checked in Monday night after cancelling her show.

The reason for her visit and where she went afterwards isn’t clear.

According to a statement released by W & W Public Relations, the singer called off the show after she “got suddenly ill” during a sound check.

The 42-year-old was rushed to hospital, while fans were informed of the cancellation about five minutes before the show was to begin with opening act L-L Cool J.

Promoter Groupe Spectacles Gillett says Jackson hopes to return to Montreal as soon as possible.
