Plans for a Michael Jackson tribute concert were scrapped after the event’s organizers closed down, the company’s liquidators said on Friday.
The concert was originally to have taken place in a 17th-century palace in Vienna and feature such singers as Mary J. Blige, Chris Brown and Natalie Cole. But in September, Jermaine Jackson, one of Michael Jackson’s brothers who was among the organizers, canceled it, saying he could not to get enough stars to perform on such short notice. The concert was then rescheduled to be in London this summer. Martin Schneider, liquidator for the organizers, told Reuters, “The company cannot sign any new contracts and will not plan any new events.’’
The event organizer — World Award Media GmbH — closed on Nov. 30, the company’s liquidator said.
