Looks like Jermaine Jackson finally came to his senses. After Chris Beat-Her-Down, Mary J. Blige and Natalie Cole had no plans on performing, the Vienna concert is now postponed.
Jermaine had this to say:
“Numerous stars were just not able to change their schedules to make a live appearance at the Vienna event possible. Many artists and performers who I have spoken to personally told me that it would be a great honor to be part of this memorial concert for my late brother.
However, due to the short time frame it was not possible for many of them to change their schedule so that they could be on stage in Vienna on September 26, therefore we decided, after careful consideration, to change the date of the tribute concert to June 2010 – just a few weeks before the first anniversary of his untimely death.
Now we have eight months to put this monumental show together and not just eight weeks.”
After careful consideration? We don’t think you had a choice!
Luckily, the ticket holders will be receiving a refund.
The organizers of the event, World Tribute Productions, hope to secure Wembley Stadium in London, where Michael had performed 15 times.
That makes A LOT more sense to us!
Hopefully this time around Jermaine won’t go around making shiz up about who’s going to be there!
