VIENNA — A global tribute to Michael Jackson in front of an Austrian palace has been scrapped and moved to London, organizers announced Friday, saying they needed more time to put together a show fit for the King of Pop.
Event promoter Georg Kindel and Jackson’s brother Jermaine told reporters that too many top performers had scheduling conflicts, and they blamed the media for stirring up a negative atmosphere.
The original plan had been to stage the tribute Sept. 26 outside a 17th-century palace in Vienna. Instead, Kindel said, it will be held at London’s Wembley Stadium sometime in the first half of June 2010.
