Michael Jackson

The Scheduled tribute concert in memory of late pop king, Michael Jackson, has been canceled by the Organizers on Friday. The event will now be held in London sometime in the forthcoming year. Sources have been quoted as saying that there were much speculation on whether artists like Mary J. Blige, Chris Brown and Natalie Cole would perform in Vienna. This might have fueled on the cancelation of the much awaited show.

Georg Kindel, the organizer of the show, has bashed up the Australian media stating that the reporters and news agencies have been circulating wrong information to commoners. Mr. Kindel have also mentioned that the show will be at Wembley Stadium in London, sometime in June 2010. This would be in memory of Michael Jackson on the first anniversary of the pop star’s death.

“The artists were disrespectfully treated as B-list artists by the media”, Kindel said. He also assured that the tickets for the Vienna concert will be refunded.

Earlier the Vienna city council had mentioned that it would fund upto 600,000 euros ($876,200) in suppoert of the show. The evert was scheduled to be held at the capital’s Schoenbrunn castle.

“A cancellation is better than something that is bad and that doesn’t interest anyone”, Robert Nuernberger, the spokesman for the Vienna tourist board, was quoted as saying.

The performers were expected to sing Jackson’s some of the greatest hits, which would include Billie Jean, Thriller and Bad in front of an expected audience of 65000. Tickets were on sale at a price of 63 to 518 euros ($91-$745), although it wasn’t confirmed by the organizers of the show how many tickets were sold.

The tickets for the London concert in the forthcoming year will be priced at 44 pounds ($73) minimum. The dates from when and where the tickets of show could be collected will be announced in December.
