July 05, 2001
JANET JACKSON's going on tour! In support of her new hit album, All for You, Ms. Jackson is preparing a world tour to rival 1990's "Rhythm Nation" and invited ET backstage for a first look at her much-anticipated "All for You Tour 2001" -- the dancers, the costumes and all of the exciting, last-minute changes!
All for You debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart and marks a new direction for Janet, who describes the album as "very freeing." "It's a different thing for me. Growing up, I never dated. I'm doing that now, experiencing that whole life," says the 35-year-old icon. "So, I'm sure you'll hear a lot of that. I won't tell which person this or that song is about, but yes, it shows, and those are the different experiences, some of them." The disc is her seventh studio album and the smash follow-up to her 1997 multiplatinum-selling The Velvet Rope.
One of the hottest concert events of the summer, a portion of ticket proceeds from the "All for You Tour 2001" will be donated to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America as part of a nationwide campaign. The money will help support the education, leadership and arts programs provided by the more than 2,800 Boys & Girls Clubs around the nation, which serve some 3.3 million children and teens. The Clubs focus primarily on young people from disadvantaged circumstances. "These children are our future," says Janet. "I am just so proud to be involved with helping such a wonderful organization that not only looks after, but nurtures, educates and enriches the lives of so many."
Set to launch July 5 at Vancouver's 16,000-seat GM Place, the "All for You Tour 2001" will include nearly 60 performances across North America and run through October 13 in Denver before heading to Europe for 25 shows in 10 countries.
