Michael's Tribute Show Will Go On

Filed under: Michael Jackson

Looks like Michael Jackson's former manager, Ron Weisner, will soon be working on a tribute for the late King of Pop.

According to reports, Jermaine and Katherine Jackson have asked Weisner to produce Michael Jackson: The Tribute in Vienna Austria later next month, on September 26th.

The show was originally going to be canceled since some of the Jackson clan wasn't on board. But with Katherine backing it up, the show is on.

In fact, momma Jackson even released a statement on Friday. She said:

"I am overwhelmed by the worldwide sympathy that my beloved son Michael has received over the past month. It is a difficult time for my family and I, as you probably understand.

When Jermaine told me about the Save The World Awards in Austria, at which he received a special honor on behalf of Michael, and about his plan to hold a tribute on September 26th for his brother in Vienna, I immediately found this a wonderful idea because of Michael’s influence and impact around the world. An event of this dimension not only keeps Michael’s spirit alive, more than that: It gives millions of fans the opportunity to experience his music and celebrate the life of my son. I am sure Michael would love it.

It makes me very happy to know that this special event will be seen around the world and give all his fans a chance to be with Michael and his timeless music once again. I fully support Jermaine’s endeavors to spread Michael’s important message of making a better world for us all."

Weisner says they're expecting approximately 100,000 people to attend. He's already reached out to several celebs to perform, though no names have yet to be confirmed.

And there you have it.

      Re: tick_tock_tick_tock – "Do the proceeds go to the children he sexually abused?"

      No, but the proceeds should go to getting ignorant haters like you educated about those extortion plots against Michael. Oops I forgot, me and other fan's already gave you that lesson months ago for free. How about you go back about 50 or so MJ post back and re-educate yourself.



    28. 28

      Re: tick_tock_tick_tock – "Will they sing the "Don't touch my no, no" song? LMAO!"

      Is that the song that you used to sing to the person who abused you?? Don't take that out on Michael because he would have never done such a thing. The Court made that quite clear back in 2005.

      Re: bongo – "45 little boys will stand on stage with there pants around their ankles. What a tribute. Michael wouldn't want it any other way."

      You know that, that will never happen. But how about you show up to the tribute amongts all those fans and his family members and say this to their faces? Yeah you haters feel big and bold behind your computer screen but out of the many MJ fans that I'm sure you have encountered, I bet you won't say a thing!



    30. 30

      Kat and Jermy need to be shot over to Mars. They're the ones exploiting him now.

      Who cgives a shit? I can't believe people actually paid money to go see this has-been when he was alive and about to do those concerts in London. Why would anyone pay to see a bunch of has-been's perform his corny music? He sucked, he's dead, get over it.

      ""I am overwhelmed by the worldwide sympathy that my beloved son Michael has received over the past month."

      He's been dead for 2 months, not one! The worldwide sympathy has been at fever pitch since say one, Mrs. Jackson!

      Re: AnnieGirl – Why are you so fucking mean all the time?



    42. 42

      Sure, have it Vienna, where he might have visited, instead of the US, where he actually LIVED. These tributes suck ass, anyway.
