Mary J Blige and More To Pay Tribute to Michael Jackson

Posted: 08 Sep 2009 11:45 PM PDT

Some big names are headlining a tribute concert to honor the late Michael Jackson being held in Vienna later this month.  Mary J. Blige, Natalie Cole and Sister Sledge will be performing along with Akon and Chris Brown.

The event will take place at Vienna’s Schoenbrunn castle on September 26, 2009 and will also feature a performance by Jermaine Jackson who will sing a virtual duet with his brother (which is reminiscent of what Natalie Cole did on "Unforgettable" with her father, Nat King Cole).

I don't think the roster is completely firmed up yet but I think 20-25 artists are expected to perform the King of Pop's greatest hits accompanied by the band and dancers who had been preparing to go on the "This Is It" tour with Michael Jackson before he died of an apparent drug overdose on June 25, 2009.

Jackson's children and mother, Katherine, are expected to attend the concert.
