Details of the Michael Jackson tribute concert

Jermaine Jackson has revealed details of a concert in memory of his brother Michael in Vienna, fuelling speculation a similar event will also be held in London. Artsts including Mary J. Blige, Sister Sledge, Akon and the disgraced R&B star Chris Brown will perform at the show later this month. Michael Jackson's children and his mother Katherine will travel to Austria for the concert at Schoenbrunn castle on September 26. Jermaine will sing a virtual duet with his late brother, who died from a drug overdose on June 25, and will be brought to life by video projections on the concert stage. All the artists will sing Michael's greatest hits and will be supported by the band and dancers who were to accompany the singer on his planned "This Is It" series of comeback concerts in London. Tickets for the concert are being sold in stages for 63 to 518 euros (£55-450) each. More than half have already been sold.
