Jackson tribute show postponed to 2010



  • Organisers of a planned Michael Jackson tribute gig in Vienna have pulled the plug on the show and say it will be staged in London next year instead.
  • It is the latest twist in the plans after efforts to stage an event at London's O2 last month fell through.
  • Within hours of the line-up being announced, key artists said they were unable to attend the show, which had been due to take place on September 26.
  • It is now expected to take place in June 2010.
  • Jackson died in June shortly before a string of 50 dates at the O2.
  • The tribute show had been lined up at a 17th-century palace in Vienna. But acts such as Mary J Blige, Chris Brown and Natalie Cole subsequently found they were unable to attend.
  • Promoter Georg Kindel said there had been difficulties with scheduling: "Maybe we underestimated these issues."
