Beyoncé was one of the first stars to implement controls for producers and collaborators on her tour, after a former collaborator was arrested for sexual assault in 2020.

“Checks will look at everyone from their dancers and bandmates to the team and staff in general to ensure they have no history of abuse,” the source added.
“It’s not cheap to do, but for Janet and those close to her, creating a safe and friendly work environment is more important than profit,” the source continued.
The source added that Jackson wants “a completely non-toxic work environment for all his staff and by implementing these early checks he is eradicating the risk.”
The source added that the Together Again tour is expected to generate over £70 million and will be a massive event.
Jackson announced the tour in December, which will begin at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida on April 14, 2023.
