The announcement comes after months of online petitions from loyal fans demanding her musical comeback. Although her résume speaks for itself, here are eight reasons why we’re excited about the return of Miss Jackson’s, if you’re nasty, epic comeback tour.

Although Jackson has more hit singles than one can count and a career spanning more than three decades, she also has some new music up her sleeve. Fans have been waiting to hear something new from the pop sensation since the release of her last album, Discipline, which was released nearly seven years ago.

The Wait Is Over

Although age is only a number, Jackson is nearing 50, and we’re not sure when she’ll return for another world tour. Not to mention, since the inception of her career, she only has six tours under her belt.

Known for her electrifying performances, full of high energy with affordable ticket prices to match, it’s important to take advantage of seeing Jackson live in concert when she comes to a city near you.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
