Launching a 10-night stint at Resorts World Las Vegas from December 30 thru February 15, Janet Jackson has announced the dates for her Nevada residency.
Taking to her Instagram account, the multi-Grammy award winner wrote “We’re so excited to announce our new residency at Resorts World Las Vegas launching New Year’s week!” “This is going to be a lot of fun and I look forward to spending the start of the New Year with you!! We truly can’t wait! Sending so much love.”
Following ‘Metamorphosis,’ the superstar’s last stint in Vegas at Park MGM in 2019, Miss Jackson was reportedly offered a London-residency but opted for Las Vegas because it was more lucrative.
Revealed that she gets in shape for her tours by singing on a trampoline, the now 58-year-old songstress discussed her fitness secrets as she prepares to bring her ‘Together Again’ jaunt to the UK and Europe in September.
On BBC Radio 2’s ‘The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show,’ Scott Mills said “I used to hear that Destiny’s Child would run on treadmills and try and sing at the same time?”
Janet – who has seven-year-old son Eissa Al Mana with ex-husband Wissam Al Mana – replied: “Yeah, that’s how you condition yourself. You run on a treadmill. Another way is a trampoline. That’s how you condition singing and getting your heart rate up and being able to move and sing at the same time.”
Scott then asked: “So have you been on a trampoline before go?”
“Yeah, I have two trampolines in my house, actually, for this purpose. Well, one is for my baby, and one is for me.” “He took the first one I got, so I had to get another for myself.” “Yeah, it’s a lot of energy. And it’s just back-to-back to back-to-back to back-to-back, the whole show, and it’s two hours,” replied Jackson.
As well as the high energy, the ‘Promise’ hitmaker has many costume changes and has three people assisting her backstage.
She said: “Well, I have three people helping me, actually, someone at my feet that’s changing my shoes, and someone that’s changing and I also help myself.”
And even then, it’s a race against time.
“Sometimes I have not cleared the audience from seeing me, you run as quickly as you can to your quick change. And there were times when I had to undress a little bit before I got to my quick change, or I would not have made the change in time. So you start to unzip … I mean, you don’t take anything off, but you start to unzip things to make it go a little quicker,” Janet added.
