Michael Jackson's Planned London Show To Become Tribute Concert!
Filed under: Madonna > Music Minute > Michael Jackson
The show must go on!
Michael Jackson's highly anticipated This Is It spectacular, planned for London's O2 Arena, will continue as a tribute show, MSNBC is reporting.
A-list performers are expected to appear, replicating what was planned for Michael's concerts.
It is rumored that Madonna will take the stage - as the legend was to make a surprise appearance during Michael's run at the O2 Arena.
According to a tour organizer, one performance will now be held in September, but a decision has not been made as to where the tribute show will take place. Though, most likely, it will be LA.
That will be quite amazing to see!

don't act like you care about MJ now you fucking hypocrite.
I'd pee my pants if Madonna performs.
Now somebody's thinking. I would go to that.
I would kill to attend! Michael deserved better.
I hope Madonna does cause i want to see that
that's pretty awesome news!
I don't think drugs killed Michael, I don't think the doctor killed Michael, I think the media killed Michael Jackson. No one deserved what he got, the media would not leave him alone.
Madonna ? EEEWWW ! I mean, I like her, but her "image" is that of someone riding a BLACK DILDO while moaning in ecstacy. In other words, and OLD WHORE ! Not a good idea. And musically…………..she lacks the "pseudo funk" of Michael Jackson. She's a Ho…………and "POP HO"……….but little more than that !
The world loves pedos
The show must go onnn!!
Pnasty quit censoring my comments already!
Michael Jackson was GAY! GAY! Why he couldn't come out of the closet, is because his black family would never have accepted that. So he would up looking like the waynes bros in White Chicks. Why people can't accept a gay person is beyond me.
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE PEOPLE!!!!!!!! Love!!!!!!!
God bless you Michael.
Why did no one ever question him about his sexuality? I mean, hello. He was gay. Why did people ignore that blatent fact?!
Perez you make me sick.
I've went through your news about Michael just before his death, and you were sooo disrespectful.
Now that he passed you're trying to act like you care so deeply about him.
You're such a hypocrite.
God bless Michael and his family. Long live the King of Pop!
Perez you were messed up to MJ before he died. You called him Jacko Wacko, and what not. Now you act like you care about him, wierd!
Good luck getting tickets to that
LOL…looks like your advertisers are dropping like flies!!!!!
I don't know when I look at these photos I don't know what to think. What did he do to himself? Did he hate himself that much. He looked fine before he mutilated himself. And people, Doctors included allowed this?? Serious issues here. Monstrous!!
WAIT YOU MEAN HE'S NOT DEAD?
LA? Not "El Lay"?
LMAO
Re: SamanthaB –
I heard that joke about 20 times before you told it.
Congrats.
Re: stepford wifey –
I think it was a quietly accepted truth.
Well for the God fearing he goes to his judgment, for the rest he goes to his death. Now we get to watch vultures and leeches come out of the woodwork and garner whatever they can from his corpse.
even though you censor me, it doesnt hide the fact you are a moron for continually posting mj sentiments when you ridiculed his death
its little pointed nose looks like it has a smudge on it
This news is like 2 days old. Time to catch up Perez. You suck.
See Michael Jackson cartoon caricatures at www.cartoonslinger.com
Rest In Peace Michael. You were not only a legend as an entertainor but also an incredible soul that many people could not appreciate. I don't believe that child molestation accusations. I think you are rare and hopefully you are in a much much better place…. You are an angel!!
THIS IS STILL ALL SO UNBELIEVABLE. WE'RE GONNA BE HEARING ABOUT THIS FOR MONTHS…..WITH THE AUTOPSY, THE CHILD CUSTODY, THE FINANCES, THE TRIBUTES…….THE SPECULATIONS…..THE INEVITABLE "CONSPIRACY" THEORY……THE LIES ………..THE TRUTH.
.
.
RIP MICHAEL. I HOPE YOUR THREE CHILDREN EVENTUALLY MANAGE TO FIND SOME PEACE AND STABILITY.
The king and the queen!
There's no tribute concert, fans are being offered a full refund or a special hologram ticket designed by Michael himself for the price you paid for the ticket, i.e. £75
:) x
Yeah,the media killed Michael.He was a great and talented guy!
I bet he's not even dead and will "rise on a platform"
lol ….opie n anthony fuckd u up mario
Re: lala7890 – but seriously I loved his old stuff too Thrillar was one of me first akbum, but how many ppl do you now get accused of being a diddler twice in 1 year, and pay em off? I find in a tad suspis….
OLD NEWS,,,, and now ur a nice guy??? umm yea as addicting ur site is,, im really considering writing it off as u pretty much copy everything anyway and r usuallly a day or two late
HEY HEY HEY that was my idea. Ugh I wrote Perez an email about this two days again when I said he should ignore everyone on the comments board because your all being lame. I talked to like 5 people today who thought it was a joke as well and one of my friends thought he was faking it as well and would come back with a new album called resurrection. Anyway yeah I said AEG should do this….hmmmm either they are spying on me or someone talked to someone about this….dang it. Oh well I thought they should at least keep it in London and give people the oportunity who bought tixs in the first place to go to this tribute concert.
What the fuck Mario? When Michael died you talked shit! Way before he died you talked shit! Now that everyone is saying you're a douche you care deeply about M.Jackson? You make me sick, R.I.P. Mikey
Re: hailstorm1375 – everyones entitled to their own opinion I suppose. I personally don't believe he was gulity. Bottom line, Michael was a musical genius. His albums were incredible, all of them. He was under SOO much pressure it was bound to take him under eventually. It just sucks that it had to end for him this soon.
HYPOCRITE! Funny, my earlier post with a link to show your disgusting original post about MJ's death didn't get published. Hmmmmmmm.
Re: WildOrchid1298 – I really wish you were right (about the resureection album) I'd be pissed, but so happy to have the opportunity to hear and see Michael alive and well again.
they said they wanted madonna so bad and they said she is toping their list.it would be cool cause MJ and Madonna were the roalty of pop music and he as an arists deserves a good performance and nothing better than maodnna to do a huge show and all her fans will be there for sure.MJ and Madonna are the king and the queen for eternity.it would be great
i would really like to attend this.
Re: SamanthaB – thats after he ate the 10 year olds crabs delight.but before they deep fried the 3 year olds cheezee forskin into mexican cheezee puffs. Then the priest served everything With a little keonti.
Re: prettyprettiprincess – you are blanch, you are
Re: SamanthaB – you so purdy
Re: IsawWhatUdidLastnite – you're weird
i doubt it will be in LA, people paid money in the uk for this, why would they give it to fricking america instead?
You've fucked up twice perez…
Remember when you said Bernie Mac was probably in the hospital for doing drugs?? You never apologized then either even after he died due to his sickness.
And you fucked up again now. If MJ was alive you'd have drawn sperm and all other bunch of shit on these pics.
You useless sack of shit. I'm glad you got your ass knocked out in Toronto.
Oh my god, did you hear about Michael Jackson
Yeah, I heard about Michael Jackson
It's crazy, right
Yeah, I can't believe it
All of a sudden the media is on his side
I know, it's crazy, right
Michael Jackson is dead
Don't pretend you give a shit
You motherfucking hypocrites
Remember what you said he did
Michael Jackson is dead
No, you never gave a shit
So why are you pretending you motherfucking hypocrites
MJ crept me out
You've fucked up twice perez…

Oh, we're so sad that Michael passed away
We loved him so much
Really, really, did you love him
'Cause from where I'm standing it kinda looked like you hated him
And that you called him a freak
And that you wanted him to die
But now that he's dead, you love him
And he's a legend and he's amazing
Oh, we love Michael Jackson
How about you go fuck yourself
You big bunch of fucking hypocrites
Yeah, I'm gonna do this for you, I'm gonna do this for you
Billie Jean was not his lover
Of course she wasn't, she had a vagina
And she was older than twelve years old
Fuck you, hypocrites
Michael Jackson is Dead by Jon Lajoie…
Why on earth would people who paid to watch MJ in London fly out to LA?! MJ wanted to do his concerts in London and I'm guessing a lot of the tickets were sold to people in the UK first. I say give them their money back if they want it and don't rope them into helping inflate Madonna, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake and other 'artists' egos.
all false, you have been told you can either keep the ticket for a memento or get your money back, there isnt any concerts happening anymore.
Rest In Peace Michael. You were not only a legend as an entertainor but also an incredible soul that many people could not appreciate. I don't believe that child molestation accusations. I think you are rare and hopefully you are in a much much better place…. You are an angel!!
If it's for A-listers I guess there's no chance of you being there to get you fat ass kicked again. Fuck.
ohh myy godd perez, you are such a douche! i was trying to look for the the old articles you've written about him, you know, the ones where you put him down & draw on him? and they're not there! why?!
For years he has crushed hard working people in the entertainment industry, destroyed people’s lives, causing the downfall of some of the greatest people who do not deserved to be ripped to pieces. For a guy who’s made a “career” on bashing and hurting other people, I think everyone in the entertaiment industry, and people all around the world should take away the Perez Hilton’s evil power and start giving it to someone else who will help better the world, not destroy it! On that note: Perez…..Go to hell! I am NOT afraid of you, and hopefully after this blog, my fellow celebmates will no longer be afraid of you either! YOU ARE NOTHING! BYE BYE! You’re done.”
Sincerely,
Tila Nguyen AKA Tila Tequila
@officialTila
i hope the concert is in LA or in america at least! michael jackson was american so why the hell would the tribute be in the UK?
What the hell?? Why not do a tribute show in the US?? They need to do one in NYC I would def attend!!
Perez, you shouldn't write about Michael Jackson until you apologize for accusing him of faking his death in the first place. Take responsibility for what you've said.
Not long ago Madonna was calling him a space alien freak.
And again…Madge finds a way to make it all about herself. Damn I hate that publicity sucking bitch
That would be nice…I would like to see Madonna, Britney, Justin, Janet and many dancers like Wade robson…
Perez, I thought we were suppose to get our money back?
I am looking forward to the concert it would be great i wish to see slash and axl rose there lol my favorite rock band of all time
If there is the chance for some publicity the Sea Hag will be there. Hagdonna is really becoming pathetic in her attempts to stay relevant.
URGH. Why bloody LA? Surely it should be in London where I, along with 750,000 other people paid £80 to see him? This is an outrage.
Re: myslead – Exactly. I despise fat-ass boar-faced-hypocrite WHINER PUSSIES too!!!
Re: Unari – Ugh….you're right! I can't wait til that whore quits.
i think that its wonderful that they are making the concert into a tribute show, but as i was reading the post it makes u wonder…why dont ppl tribute ppl when they are alive. that way they are here on earth to know how much they've meant to the world….kinda like at funerals when ppl get up and speak and say how much the dead person has meant to them and how much they were loved…let the ppl u love know that while they're here…make a mends while they're still kickin, give love a chance to heal old wounds….but all and all, i think MJ knew how much he meant to his loved ones and his fans…R.I.P
LOL!! You're being so nice to the Paed no he's gone, but scroll back ten pages or so and you're ripping him to shreds! Stick to your beliefs Perez - be truthful, be the one who stands out in the crowd and remind everyone what this 50 year old man did to kids and got away with!
If they are going to do a tribute concert, they should mix it w. video from his final rehersals and past productions and release it in theaters. That would pay off his debt w.o sacrificing any of his current assets so his family will be able to retain the rights to the "mj" empire and keep anything special he had created just for them.
ALSO, the big head-lining stars appearing in the show should contractually demand that the net profits are to be used for his massive debt. The faster the debts are paid, the less money wasted in b.s. lawsuits. If the "handlers" are not careful, a lot of his money will go to greedy bottom-feeders.
great!
Re: Brainbug – shut up loser,they want madonna,she didnt ask for anything and she is the only legend alive.she and MJ were friends and they were both same age,they actually did birth in august.their similiar between them.i didnt like mj as a person but we are talking about him as an artist.u are really jalous moron.therers no one better than madonna to represent him.she is the queen and he was the ing.dont worry cause when she die she will be larger than life.stupid ass.,everybody knows her.who pays atention to young artists?they wont last.bring 80s back
Re: TORTEZ – shut up.he was freak but as an artist he was cool they still friends cause MJ invited madonna to make a surprise perform on his shows in london moron.and dont pretend that u never insult him cause everybody did.now that he is death he didnt become a saint
Re: Madonna&M.Jackson.the Queen&king 4ever –
Madonna? The only legend alive? I think you'll find Paul McCartney is 10x the legend that she is. What an old hag.
it should be in london.madonna is ending her tour in sptember and the show will be in that month.madonna tour isin europe.his fans paidtosee him in londonwhy in LA?his fans were all from europe.amarican people dont care about legends anymore.just about empty artists
Re: Spankydee DE BOTTOM – moron,madonna is the queen.no one better than her to do his tribute,she is the bets.she is 50 like him but her career isnt over like he was.madonna is the best selling tickets artists of last year.yes she will put lots of fans in the stadium.no one pays to see new and empty artists.madonna never copied MJ.actually new artists copy her
Re: Madonna&M.Jackson.the Queen&king 4ever – Don't mind them, just a fucking racist piece of WhiteTrash who uses a pic of their cat as their Avatar b/c they are soo fucking hideous. An ugly person with an ugly hateful heart.
Re: Zafrina – yes paul too .but as quincy jones said ,madonna,beatles,elvis and MJ are in the same level.no paul is not better than her.its diferent.she took the world by storm like beatles did.madonna is the legnd ,the only one that still works.paul is a good friend of M but john lenon always was the image of beatles not paul
Re: Zafrina – old hag is ur mother.beatles,madonna,elvis,MJ are in the same level.they are all death ,instead paul and madonna.paul doesnt work anymore.madonna still work.theres no one better than these 4
Re: Zafrina – and people only call MJ king cause he is death.they made fun at him when he announce his tour,they call him a pedo.hipocrite people.
long live the true legends:madonan and MJ the queen and the king of pop.they will be larger than live.they will live generation after generation
Re: lala7890 – I agree. The media has gotten completely out of control on all levels.
Re: PerezTheBlogNazi – lol.yeah u are right.,people who like young artists,their empty souls.they are trash.true legends live 4ever.in 10 years no one will remember gaga or brit or xtina.or trash
Re: Zafrina – You're right! Paul McCartney is definitely a legend! I would love to see Paul be a part of the tribute, I mean hell, he did a duet with MJ! but do you think he would after what happened between them? I guess he'd ahve to seperate his feelings about MJ personally; I wouldn't doubt that Paul still has a lot of respect for him professionally….there is no denying talent.
Re: Madonna&M.Jackson.the Queen&king 4ever – I don't know if you've heard the rumors LOL, but Sir Paul is still working…in fact, he's doing a mini-tour in DC and Boston right now. He just doesn't need to force himself into the media spotlight for people to remember his name. He has class and dignity.
.
It's ok that some people require the public attention that Madonna obviously does, but if they don't thrive off of it, it doesn't mean that their star has faded.
.
Also, in response to you saying it should obviously be in London (comment #85): I agree and disagree. I mean, he's from LA and he is a big part of our cultural development in the USA, but London was where his tour was going to start, so the stage/everything is ready and it would be a cool tribute location because of that…but are you serious that it should be in London because Madonna will be in Europe???….this is about him, not her…if she were dedicated to doing it, she wouldn't need it to come to her, so to speak.
I said this 3 days ago!!!
The promoters were not going to take a big loss on these concerts, no way.
And they will probably do more than one show, too.
Re: Omg.ImSoRetro –
SHE is NOT The Queen-she's not remotely close to what Jackson was in talent. fame and talent are two different things you shithead.
Like Princess Diana's death, she is a vulture swooping in her attention and desperately jockeying for attention amidst the adulation that Michael Jackson is getting. And yeah, he was light years ahead of her in fame and talent. They are not even on the same planet in that regard.
Madonna turned down "We Are The World" refusing to attend, trashed Jacksons's family throughout her whole career and just never found time to appear or record with him which is wonderful! She would have ruined We Are The World.
She looks so incredibly mediocre now (she always was, but its so painfully obvious to even her most desperate fans as they struggle to attach her to MJ's death) and the press is barely mentioning her despite her desperation and Perez Hilton a*s kissing.
Re: Madonna&M.Jackson.the Queen&king 4ever –
Paul McCartney doesn't work anymore? The man has been working constantly for the past 50 years. He just put out an album as recently as two years ago. He works for himself and his art rather than the adulation of fans. Perhaps you hadn't noticed because you're so far up Madonna's ass. Madonna may be a "legend," but she is nowhere near the talent or genius of Paul McCartney. That would be like comparing a McDonald's happy meal to a fine cuisine.
They should do it at the VMA's this year instead of a full concert.
I'll betcha Paul McCartney won't be there since he swiped the Beatles catalogue away from him.
I hope a bunch of white people aren't on that stage, Justin Timberlake should have no part, he stole all his moves from MJ and now he's partying it up in London when the true fan are mourning.
Re: theshit86 – Re: theshit86 – Does that mean , the fans, family and friends need to apologize to all the children he molested? Better yet, maybe they should set up a fund for all those kids psychiatrist visits that they need for the rest of their lives. Even Elizabeth Taylor distanced herself from him after it was brought out into the public.
Re: prettyprettiprincess – Isawwhatudidlastnite!
i think its unfair to do it in L.A. when so many fans had bought plane tickets and reserved hotels to see him in concert in london……..
God bless you Michael…may you RIP
