Jackson tribute gig  shifted from Vienna to London

Michael’s brother Jermaine Jackson had struggled to get R&B stars Mary J Blige and Chris Brown, and veteran singer Natalie Cole to confirm they could attend, fuelling speculation the gig would be cancelled for lack of interest.

Organiser Georg Kindel blamed negative treatment by the Austrian media for the cancellation and told reporters that the tribute would be held at Wembley Stadium in London in June 2010, to mark the first anniversary of Jackson’s death.
