Janet Jackson's concert sell-out

Janet Jackson's first UK performance since her brother's death has sold out in less than an hour.

The singer is part of the star-studded line-up for Capital FM's Jingle Bell Ball at London's O2 Arena.

She will take to the stage on December 6 alongside Shakira, Dizzee Rascal, JLS and Ne-Yo.

Tickets for the additional date went on sale at 8am on Tuesday morning but had sold out within the hour.

Capital FM said it added a second night to its popular Jingle Bell Ball Christmas concert because it was "deluged" by disappointed fans who missed out on tickets.

In September she performed Scream at the MTV Video Music Awards in New York as part of a tribute to Michael, but has not performed in Europe since his death.

The opening night of the Jingle Bell Ball on December 5 will host Lady Gaga, Lily Allen, Pixie Lott, and the Sugababes.

The event is hosted by presenters Johnny Vegas and Lisa Snowdon and is set to be the capital's biggest indoor music event of the year.
