Jacko tribute concert scrapped

Read More ]"/> Plans for a star-studded Michael Jackson tribute concert have been axed after the event’s organisers went out of business, according to the company’s liquidator.

The gig was set to have taken place in a 17th-century palace in Vienna, Austria, with RandB singers including Chris Brown, Mary J Blige and Natalie Cole scheduled to perform.

In September, Jacko’s brother Jermaine, one of the key organisers of the tribute, cancelled the event, saying that he could not get enough stars to perform at such short notice.

The concert was then rescheduled to take place in London next summer, but that has also now been scrapped.

But Martin Schneider, liquidator for the organisers, said: “The company cannot sign any new contracts and will not plan any new events.”

The event organiser – World Award Media GmbH – closed on 30 November, the company’s liquidator said in a statement.
