It was set to be the biggest tribute concert for the 'King of Pop' Michael Jackson. Now, the event is under a dark cloud as artistes who had promised to be part of the show are backing out, with even his family choosing to distance itself.
Called Michael Forever: The Tribute Concert, the show is slated to be held on October 8 in Cardiff, Wales, featuring performances by Beyonce, KISS, Cee-Lo Green, Smokey Robinson, Ne-Yo and Christina Aguilera. However, both Beyonce and KISS have now pulled out of the show. While her reps are giving her recent pregnancy as the reason, insiders reveal that Beyonce is upset that the Jackson family is divided over the show.
The show is being held close on the heels of the September 20 trial of Dr Conrad Murray, who has been charged with manslaughter in MJ's death. This has not just irked fans of the late singer, but his family as well. His brothers Jermaine and Randy recently said, "While we wholeheartedly support the spirit of a tribute that honours our brother, we find it impossible to support an event that is due to take place during the criminal trial surrounding Michael's death."
