JUST nine months after the birth of her son she was back on stage as part of her new world tour.

JANET Jackson made her stage comeback in style as she showed off her svelte figure on the first night of her State Of The World tour.

The new mother was in great shape as she performed her typical energetic dance routines and sang live on Thursday night’s show.

She had several outfit changes during the show which highlighted her “65 pounds” (almost 30 kg) weight loss to onlookers.

Janet was seen wearing a black catsuit with a keyhole over her chest, while she pulled her hair back into a bushy high ponytail.

She was then seen wearing a 90s style outfit as she teamed a white polo neck with blue jeans and denim style boots.

Another look featured Janet in a navy sweatshirt over a checked dress and tracksuit bottoms.

It was previously revealed Janet “lost more than 65 pounds” during tour rehearsals.

A source said: “[She’s been rehearsing] 15, 16 hours a day ... It’s a gruelling schedule but she is up to the task.

“She wants to blow the crowd away. She will be perfection like her brother, Michael.”

The insider added: “She’s all about the showmanship.

“She has lost more than 65 pounds and has her pre-baby body back and then some.”

“It’s possible that she could lose another 10 pounds before the start of the tour.”

The singer has now moved back to Los Angeles following her split from business magnate Wissam Al Mana.

The insider added to Entertainment Tonight: “She’s happy to be back in the states in L.A. where she learned about music and performing with her brothers, and it was important for her to give this experience to her son. She wants baby Eissa to know her family.”

It comes after it was revealed that Janet is planning on taking her son with her when she embarks on her ‘State of the World’ tour in the autumn.

A source said: “She will be in court to flesh out the dissolution of her marriage. Touring with baby Eissa could be a possible problem but she’s hoping it’s not.

“[Her brother Randy’s] her primary source of emotional support and may be the perfect guardian for her son while she’s on tour.”
