Michael Jackson’s brother, Jermaine Jackson, and George Kindel, event promoter, announced today that the tribute concert that was to take place on September 26, in front of Vienna’s Schönbrunn Palace, has been postponed. This was due to scheduling issues for  artists that were to appear.

In answer to critics that big-name artists like Madonna had not signed up, Jermaine Jackson said:  “The purpose of the show is to give something back to the fans, we have to do this right. It’s not about name-dropping”.

The Michael Jackson tribute concert now has moved to London’s Wembley Stadium and to take place next year in June. Kindel also stated that one of the reasons it was moved is because “renowned artists of the tribute were disrespectfully treated as B-list artists or even losers” by the media in Vienna Austria.

Everyone who bought tickets will be refunded and tickets for the rescheduled show will go on sale December 1.
