Janet's manager & Palace officials comment on 'Discipline' cut
Billboard.com now has an article with statements from Janet's manager and from a spokesperson for the Palace of Auburn Hills explaining why the "Discipline" segment was cut from last night's concert in Michigan:
The singer trimmed a three-song section of her Rock Witchu Tour show, including the sexually explicit "Discipline," in order to comply with a Michigan state law prohibiting simulated sex acts in a public performing space.Palace officials approached Jackson's camp with concerns about the segment Tuesday afternoon. An arena spokesman says that "we explained the law, asked her not to do it, she complied. We did not ask her to cut the song. That was her call."In a statement, Jackson's manager Kenneth Crear, who was on site, said that "Janet did not want to disappoint her Detroit-area fans again, so we adhered to Michigan's state ordinance and trimmed the 'Discipline' segment of the show so it would not be canceled."Jackson's show was a make-up date for an original Sept. 27 show that was one of several postponed when she was sidelined with a bout of migraine-induced vertigo.
