Janet Jackson has promised she is planning "something special" for the victims affected by Hurricane Harvey.
The 51-year-old singer took to Twitter on Wednesday (06.09.17) night to confirm she would be going ahead with her planned show in Houston, Texas, later this week despite the devastation caused by the natural disaster, and said she had something up her sleeve to surprise those who have been caught up in the destruction.
In a video posted on her Twitter account, the ‘Rhythm Nation’ hitmaker said: "Hey you guys! I’m backstage in Louisiana, and I’m at rehearsal, about to kick off my tour, and our next show is in Houston. Now, I know there were rumours on whether we were going to do the show in Houston or whether we weren’t going to do the show in Houston, and I’m here to tell you that we are going to do the show in Houston.
"But we’re going to roll in early because we want to visit some of the shelters. And not just visit some of the shelters, we also wanted to do something special for the victims. So, I will see you Friday!"
Janet – who has eight-month-old son Eissa Al Mana with her estranged husband Wissam Al Mana – isn’t the only celebrity to have shown their charitable side after the vicious storm ravaged the city, as stars such as Beyoncé, Jimmy Fallon, Taylor Swift, Pink, Justin Bieber, Kevin Hart, and the Kardashian family have also stepped forward to give their time and money to various relief efforts.
Celebrities aren’t just helping with monetary donations either, as singer Rita Ora spent time volunteering in a centre in Dallas, Texas, last week, and Miranda Lambert’s foundation MuttNation has been working to rescue lost pets who have been left stranded by the disaster.
