A tribute concert for the King of Pop Michael Jackson is scheduled for September 26, 2009 at the Schönbrunn palace in Vienna, Austria.
The lineup for the tribute has been confirmed by MJ’s brother, Jermaine Jackson, as Mary J Blige, Sister Sledge, Natalie Cole, and Chris Brown; the performers will cover Michael’s greatest hits as the main tribute. Others scheduled to make an appearance are Angela Bassett, German boy-band US5, and Akon.
In a promotional video Jermaine stated, “Michael would have loved this event because he was fascinated by castles and palaces – their elegance, history and legends.” He continued saying the evening will be a “very special tribute to Michael’s unforgettable music, as well as shedding light on this wonderful humanitarian.”
The Jackson family and an estimated 65,000 fans will be attending the tribute in Austria while approximately one billion people worldwide watching the televised broadcast.
