US TV interview for Janet Jackson



Janet Jackson Janet Jackson is due to release a greatest hits album

Singer Janet Jackson is to give her first full-length television interview since the death of her brother Michael, US network ABC has announced.

The star will allow cameras into her California home for the first time, the broadcaster added.

The interview, which has yet to be recorded, will be conducted by ABC News host Robin Roberts and screened in the US on 18 November.

Jackson made a public tribute to her brother at September's MTV Awards.

'So much fun'

She performed Scream, which was originally a duet with Michael, at the New York event.

The 43-year-old talked about her late older brother in an interview with Harper's Bazaar magazine in September, the first time she had spoken at length about his death.

In that interview, she said she had "so much fun" with him on the last day they spent together, six weeks before his death on 25 June.

The ABC special, which will last for an hour, is being shown the day after her Number Ones album is released in the US.

In 2004, Jackson caused controversy when Justin Timberlake ripped her top and exposed one of her breasts while the two were performing at the American Super Bowl.

Since that incident, Jackson's record sales in the US have dipped.

Her 10th studio album Discipline, released last year, was one of her least successful despite positive reviews.

Roberts is best known in the US as one of the presenters of ABC's Good Morning America.
