Jacko tribute line-up announced
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 9 September 2009
Jermaine Jackson has announced some of the line-up of that previously reported Michael Jackson tribute gig in Vienna later this month. Confirmed so far are Mary J Blige, Akon, Natalie Cole, Sister Sledge, Angela Basset and German boyband US5.
Jermaine also announced that Chris Brown would appear in what have would been the R&B thugster’s first major public appearance since being found guilty of beating up ex-girlfriend Rihanna in the street earlier this year. But a spokesperson for Brown has since told reporters: “Chris is not confirmed to perform or participate in any capacity for this show”. So who knows what’s going on there.
More artists are to be announced at press conferences in London and Berlin later this week. The show will take place at the Schoenbrunn Palace on 26 Sep in front of 65,000, with many more expected to watch via a live webcast. Jackson’s family and children will also attend.
