Last week it was announced that she parted ways with Antonio "L.A." Reid's Island Def jam, after being a part of the label for 14 months.
Jackson's recent on the road health issues also affected her earlier this year. She missed her scheduled appearance on 'Saturday Night Live,' due to bronchitis.
However, a source close to Janet's long-time beau Jermaine Dupri revealed to 'People' magazine that the entertainer has complained of exhaustion in the past.
"A 42-year-old body can't handle what a 22-year-old body can," says the source. "I can tell you that she's definitely tired. It was probably exhaustion. She is doing back-to-back, three-hour shows, and her body isn't the same as it used to be."
There was no additional info regarding Jackson's health at press time.


1. I hope Janet gets better real soon and hopefully she will slow down and focus on some of the other talents that she has to offer.
