In a move far less surprising than the ones Michael Jackson did onstage, now comes word that the Jackson tribute concert, slated to take place on September 26 in Vienna, is being pushed back to June – and to London.
The reason?
Simple. The event organizers couldn’t pull it together and their supposed lineup of stars, including Mary J. Blige, Natalie Cole, and Chris Brown – who has some community service ahead of him – had scheduling issues.
Those who bought tickets will be refunded, and tickets for the London concert, which start at approximately $75, go on sale on December 1.
Before buying tickets and airfare, Gossip Cop is going to wait to see if the proposed new concert will be a thriller or whether this too will go bad.

Hopefully now they’ll have time to do it right and get bigger stars like Usher, Jay-Z, Madonna and Justin Timberlake.
There was no way that Jermaniac could pull it together. They need to hire people who have done big concerts like this, like the people who do Live AID, if this is ever going to happen, which I hope it does. Jackson was a great performer, and it would be amazing to have other big performers do his material. My gut is some of that will happen Sunday at the VMAs. Anyway, that’s my two cents. Keep up the good work.
I can’t believe what a moron this guy is. How transparent can one jealous, money-grubbing brother be? “Word to the Badd” said it all. I hope he stays away from Michael’s kids because I shudder to think of the things he’d say to them about their dad. You can send messages to the kids and show support: google “dear paris jackson” or “dear prince jackson”. No matter what a person thinks of their father, they’re only kids and they didn’t ask for any of this crap.
Your thinly veiled attempts to correct your earlier story regarding Chris Brown is almost disgusting… You are the blog we have needed, start acting like it when it comes to correcting your own mistakes.
I mean no disrespect, especially to a family that recently lost someone, but I do believe your reader who coins Jermaine Jackson as “Jermaniac” is correct. The more I hear or read about Jermaine, the more I am convinced he may have a few screws loose. At least he isn’t as nutty as La Toya, who would greatly benefit from an inpatient mental health program!
