Michael Jackson still performing at concert
Michael Jackson will perform from beyond the grave in London next month.
The late singer’s ‘This Is It’ show is being planned to take place at The O2 arena – where the ‘Smooth Criminal’ singer had sold-out a 50-night residency – on August 29, the day of Michael’s 51st birthday.
A life-like hologram of the ‘King of Pop’ will be projected on stage and perform parts of his planned set to fans accompanied by the backing dancers he had been rehearsing with before his death last month.
It is also believed the pop star’s children – Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11 and seven-year-old Prince Michael II, also known as ‘Blanket’ – will take to the stage for the grand finale with Michael’s brothers and sisters, like they did at his Los Angeles memorial on Tuesday.
‘Britain’s Got Talent’ singer Shaheen Jafargholi – who performed ‘Who’s Lovin’ You?’ at the ceremony – has reportedly been approached about singing a Jackson 5 medley, taking on the vocals Michael performed as a youngster for the planned show.
AEG promoter Randy Philips – the man behind Michael’s O2 residency – says it is important everyone gets to see what would have been an "amazing show".
Earlier this month, he said: "The world needs to see this production. It would have been – which is the tragedy here – one of the most amazing shows ever, so at some point we want the world to see that. The sooner the better."

Mary's comment says
On January 6, 2010 at 12:54 amI have been searching and writing on so many sites with the hope to reach any of Michael’s family members, without success, I am from the old era and not very good at computers or internet sites. I would like to say how much Michael Jackson touched my heart, I love him sincerely and very much, when I think of how I feel without ever having met him or having ever been a part of his life, I then try to imagine what it must be like for his family. He was such an amazing human being, whom had a gift and shared that gift with all the world, he was so caring and helped so many children and because of the pureness of his heart is that he was hurt and betrayed, he did not deserve to go through so much in his life time I thank God and his family for sharing him with us through most of his life. I have tried to make sense of his death and what I can say is that it was not to end the way it did. Why is Conrad Murray free and able to practice medicine if he had any principles he would had made sure to have any and all equipment necessary when he administered that drug to him. Why isn’t justice being served I don’t understand it. When Michael smiled he lighted up the world he had such a beautiful smile, and that is one the many, many things I loved about him.
