JANET JACKSON
A New Discipline
A PRESTIGE HONG KONG EXCLUSIVE

International music icon Janet Jackson is back in the spotlight in an exclusive and intimate interview and photo shoot in the January issue of Prestige Hong Kong.

In advance of her widely anticipated February Discipline album release and upcoming tour, the five-time Grammy Award-winning and Oscar-nominated star opens up about growing up Jackson, her chronic weight problems, and the possiblity of a Jackson 5 reunion world tour.

“I hope it happens. I would love for it to happen. I’m probably [my brothers’] biggest fan,” confesses Jackson. “I think it would be great if they did. They’re so loved and definitely missed, and there’s so much history there, musically speaking even, there’s so much they have to give...there’s so much youth still there. I think about how Mick Jagger is 65 million years old, like a dinosaur or something...and I look at my brothers and none of them look their age.”

Jackson also discusses her recent weight struggle, and her planned book on the topic: “It’s not necessarily about yo-yo dieting, it’s coming from my soul. It has been tough at times – even when I was younger – so it talks about those times and what triggered me to come out of it. So many people have asked me, ‘How did you do it? What caused it [the weight fluctuations]?’ So I thought, let me just write about this to let them know.”
