Janet Jackson has denied reports that she has throat cancer after cancelling her concert tour.

Jackson responded to the reports by posting a two-minute clip from her song "The Great Forever" on her Twitter account.

It was followed by a personal message in which she said she is "recovering" but offered no further details.

It comes after Jackson posted a message on her website on Christmas Eve, announcing she was postponing her Unbreakable tour to have an unspecified surgical procedure.

Jackson had been next scheduled to perform Saturday in Denver. She is scheduled to perform in Europe in March.
