The singer's publicist Patti Webster confirmed Jackson needed "time to get better" from a bout of illness, but denied reports that she had been admitted into ER at Cedars-Sinai in LA.
Webster told the Associated Press: "Janet did go to the hospital last night due to the fact she’s been suffering from this flu that’s kicked a lot of people’s behinds.
"She was never admitted and she is fine.”
Jackson was due to perform tracks from her new Discipline album on the comedy show on March 15. No replacement has been confirmed.
