I thought it was important that you be the first to know, she said.

My husband and I are planning our family, so Im going to have to delay the tour.

I have to rest up; doctors orders.

But I have not forgotten about you.

I will continue the tour as soon as I possibly can.

Rumors swirled at the time that Jackson was battling cancer, a claim she denied earlier this year.

The rumors are untrue.

I do not have cancer.

Thank you for your prayers and love.

In March,Jackson canceled her U.K. tour datesfor unspecified reasons.
