NEW YORK (AP/CBSDFW.COM) - Janet Jackson is delaying her "Unbreakable" tour, saying she and her husband are planning their family and that she is under doctor's orders to rest.

The 49-year-old singer announced in a clip on her Twitter account Wednesday that there has been a "sudden change" to the second leg of her tour, which started in August.

She didn't say she was pregnant, only that she "has to rest up; doctor's orders." She said she has not forgotten about her fans and would continue the tour as soon as she possibly can.

"Please, understand that it's important that I do this now" Jackson said in a video posted to her twitter account. "I have not forgotten about you, I will continue the tour as soon as I possibly can."

Jackson was scheduled to play at the American Airlines Center in Dallas on July 15, 2016.
