Mary J. Blige and Akon will perform at the Michael Jackson’s tribute gig

Mary J. Blige, Akon, Chris Brown, Natalie Cole and Sister Sledge were announced to take part in the upcoming concert in memory of Michael Jackson. The event is being organized by the late singer's brother Jermaine Jackson and is scheduled to take place on September 26 in Vienna. More participants will be revealed later.

According to the reports, about 85,000 fans will visit the show.

Jermaine Jackson in his interview has already claimed that Vienna was «a very dear place for Michael».

Two other Michael Jackson’s tribute concerts are set to take place in London. Originally, shows were planned to be held on August 29 and 30, at the O2 Arena – the same place where Michael Jackson was going to perform his comeback concerts. But both gigs were postponed because organizers failed to finalize the line-up for the shows.
