Stars Get Call Screening As Jermaine Jackson’s Funeral Disco Plugs London Tribute Gig

MICHAEL Jackson Watch: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at Michael Jackson in the new: As far back as yesterday, Anorak was looking forward to the big Michael Jackson tribute, featuring Jermaine Jackson, Janet Jackson, La Toya Jackson, Bianca Jackson, Colin Jackson, Stonewall Jackson, Katherine Jackson and top Austrian stars like Hans Und Knees, the yodelling pantomime horse, contortionist Helmut Hertz and the Von Trapps.

Now we hear that the show is off.

Says Jermaine Jackson:

“Numerous stars were just not able to change their schedules to make a live appearance at the Vienna event possible…Many artists and performers who I have spoken to personally told me that it would be a great honour to be part of this memorial concert for my late brother.

However, due to the short time frame it was not possible for many of them to change their schedule so that they could be on stage in Vienna on 26 September, therefore we decided, after careful consideration, to change the date of the tribute concert to June 2010 - just a few weeks before the first anniversary of his untimely death.

“Now we have eight months to put this monumental show together and not just eight weeks.”

And the stars have minutes to work out call screening.

Jermaine Jackson and the Jackson Funeral And Disco Dancers will be performing in London on June, 2010.
