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├óΓé¼Γäós endeavors to spread Michael├óΓé¼Γäós 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.
