Jackson also dismissed reports that two of the biggest stars he has lined up for the Vienna concert would not show and said he hoped Stevie Wonder would also play the September 26 gig, to be staged in front of Vienna's Schoenbrunn castle. "I invited my mother, I invited my brothers and sisters as well," he told a news conference in London. "I am not happy with the talk being said in the press about the support isn't there. My mother from the very start supported this." Jackson himself aims to perform a virtual duet with his late brother who died from a drug overdose on June 25, weeks ahead of a planned marathon series of stadium concerts in London. Showbiz websites have speculated the show could bomb because the few big names so far announced might not be able to make it. Jackson confirmed that singer Mary J. Blige would be busy at a fashion event in Italy on the day of the concert, but that she would fly in to perform in its second half. R&B star Chris Brown, who is on probation for assaulting his ex-girlfriend, the pop star Rihanna, will perform if allowed to leave the United States. "He wants to be here. It's just up to what he's going through with his court case right now," Jackson said. "He's definitely going to be here." When asked whether Brown's well publicized assault would lower the tone of the concert, he replied: "Not at all. And I'll tell you why. He's asked for forgiveness. ... He's a wonderful performer and during these times people need support." TEARS Jackson did not confirm any big new acts since unveiling plans for the concert at a news conference on Tuesday. But he said it was likely that Stevie Wonder, R. Kelly and Maroon 5 would perform, alongside a roster of names from India and the Middle East that he is putting together. Jackson said there had been talk of holding the concert at Washington's Lincoln Memorial, but he had chosen the European venue due to his brother's huge fan base there. At one point in the news conference, Jackson the broke into tears when asked whether his family had been able to grieve Michael's death in private. "We haven't had time yet, we are trying to find our time just to be a family and pick up the pieces and move on," he said. Continued... View article on single page Share: Del.icio.us Digg Mixx Yahoo!
