AGUILERA PLAYS LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON

Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo
Green and Motown veteran
Smokey Robinson are set to
perform at a tribute concert
in honour of Michael Jackson.
More acts will be added to the
bill nearer the time, organisers
of the Michael Forever concert
said.
Jackson's brothers have
protested to the timing of the
event which coincides with the
trial of the Dr Conrad Murray,
charged over the singer's death.
The gig takes place at Cardiff's
Millennium Stadium on 8
October.
While the concert has raised the
doubts of Randy and Jermaine
Jackson, it has the full support
of the star's mother and other
siblings.
British acts Leona Lewis, Craig
David and JLS have also been
lined up to perform at the gig.
Several of Jackson's brothers
will also perform, along with 3T,
which consists of Tito Jackson's
three sons.
Rock band Alien Ant Farm, who
had a hit with a cover version
of Jackson's Smooth Criminal,
will also appear at the concert.
"We're delighted that such
exciting and globally recognised
acts have joined the line-up to
pay tribute to a music legend,"
said Chris Hunt, president of
concert promoter Global Live
Events.
The concert will raise awareness
and funds for Aids Project Los
Angeles and two other charities,
which have yet to be
announced.
Jackson died in June 2009 at the
age of 50 while rehearsing for
his This Is It tour.
A Jackson tribute concert,
expected to take place in Vienna
in September 2009, was
cancelled after organisers failed
to attract major names to
perform at the event.
