Janet Jackson has pushed back her "Rock Witchu" Japan tour next month "due to the impact of economic crisis."

The shows were scheduled between Feb. 14 and Feb. 22 in Japan. The events are part of the world tour that started in 2008 - her first in nearly seven years.

See today's top celeb news photos.

Japan concert organizer Kyodo Yokohama said the tour will be rescheduled for later this year.

Jackson, 42, cancelled seven performances in the U.S. last fall because she was suffering from migraines.

    People, people, people!! Why would you want to sink millions of dollars into a tour that others just aren't fiancially prepared to attend. "Economic Crisis" is right. Couple that with unfortunate timing/scheduling and you have poor ticket sale. I know because it is what I had to consider (do I work or lose the income and splurge) when decisions had to be made. Go figure..

    Get back to the basics.... ticket prices are CRAZY! All we want to see is you and listen to your wonderful old hits not all the fancy Other stuff that is making ticket prices CRAZY! If your charging that much, your in it for the money. If your just doing it b/c you love it........then be reasonable.
