Janet Jackson has officially announced that she will be hitting the road this summer with her new “Black Diamond World Tour.” The shows will feature music from a soon-to-be-released album called Black Diamond, as well as “a special performance of Rhythm Nation 1814,” according to a press release.
Jackson’s tour begins in June. On The Tonight Show, Jackson talked about the new album’s title in her interview with Jimmy Fallon. “It’s the toughest of the stones—of the diamonds—to cut. And I heard that immediately as it’s hardest to hurt and destroy. And I’ve come to realize in recent years that I’m incredibly strong. I see myself as this rock.”
Janet Jackson’s last new album, Unbreakable, was released in October 2015. She reissued Rhythm Nation 1814 last year to celebrate its 30th anniversary.
