Janet Damito Jo Jackson may be the baby of the world-famous Jackson family, but she proved very early on that she had what it took to be a star. Following in the footsteps of her extremely talented siblings, Janet made a name for herself as an actress, but deep down wanted to sing and dance. She released her self-titled album in 1982, but four years later, the album “Control” changed her life forever. Janet is celebrating the album’s 40th anniversary in a very big way. According to Broadway World, Janet Jackson will film Janet Jackson: Control 40- The Airtab Music Movie live in concert on December 12, 2026, at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida.
