AceShowbiz - Jermaine Jackson has been confirmed to pay tribute to Michael Jackson at a concert in Vienna. The gig will be conducted at Schoenbrunn Palace sometime in September with tickets for the show going on sale starting on August 20.
World Awards Media GmbH, the promoter for the concert, told Associated Press that several members of the Jackson family and a "high-profile lineup of international stars" will perform on a multimedia stage built in the shape of a giant crown on the palace's sculpted grounds. Other than Jermaine, other musical guests are yet to be disclosed.
"For one incredible night Michael Jackson's unforgettable music will be brought to life again," the promoter said. "Some of the world's leading artists will perform Michael's greatest hits live in Vienna in front of one of the most fascinating historical sites in Europe and celebrate the life of the King of Pop."
During a visit to "Larry King Live" on August 7, Jermaine admitted Vienna indeed is "a very dear place for Michael," who performed several times in the Austrian capital over the years. "And he loved castles. And we're going to have this huge celebration in front of a castle," Jermaine gushed.
This concert is aimed to be held as a "global" farewell to Michael. While waiting for the announcement of the concert date, fans can take peek at the tribute gig's stage through a newly-found picture from Schoenbrunn Palace.
