MUSIC: Janet Jackson announces "Comeback Album"

 JANET Jackson has given fans the news they have long waited for — she has promised a new album and world tour for later this year.

The Rhythm Nation singer has dropped off the radar since her last album Discipline was released in 2008.
It even prompted some fans to issue a missing person’s report to try and locate the singer.
But the 49-year-old has come out of hiding to reveal plans to release a new album this year.
“I promised you’d hear it from my lips and now you will. This year, new music, new world tour, a new movement. I’ve been listening. Let’s keep the conversation going,” she said in a new video.
Rumours had been growing that Jackson may be planning a comeback.
An uncredited photo suggested that Atlantic Records was set to release a new album from the singer in July, while online music app Spotify leaked details of a July 28 tour date.
