The Rhythm Nation will have to carry on for another weekend without its leader.

Needing more time to recuperate from what ails her, Janet Jackson will not be returning to her Rock Witchu tour tomorrow in Connecticut as promoter Live Nation previously announced.

This will be the seventh show that the Grammy-winning pop diva has been forced to postpone since falling ill during a sound check in Montreal last week. No details have been forthcoming about what exactly is plaguing the 42-year-old artist.

"Janet Jackson's anticipated return to her Rock Witchu tour tomorrow in Uncasville, Conn., has been postponed due to doctor's orders," a rep for Live Nation said in a statement to Access Hollywood.

Instead, the "Miss You Much" singer should be ready to go onstage Monday at the Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, N.Y.

As has been the case with other missed dates, tickets for the Uncasville show will be honored when the gig is rescheduled.
