Michael Jackson’s Vienna Tribute Postponed
On HLN’s Prime News last month, Popsquire predicted that a September Michael Jackson tribute concert in Vienna would be difficult to throw together.

And like a typical lawyer, Popsquire has no problem saying “I told you so.”
After (prematurely) announcing the likes of Chris Brown, Mary J. Blige, and Natalie Cole, Jermaine Jackson announced today that the tribute will be postponed:
“Many artists and performers who I have spoken to personally told me that it would be a great honor 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…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.”
No surprises here. Never announce a concert without having a signed deal in place!
