Jackson Concerts To Possibly Go On?

Although I write about both entertainment and politics, when I focus on the former I try not to get into gossip and just focus on the projects. Well, this is a story about a project that still might go on.

As everyone knows by now, when Michael Jackson died he was scheduled to do 50 shows at O2 arena in England. This leaves the promoters of the concert in the lurch. But they are hoping to find a way to recoup the possible losses.

In an exclusive interview with SKY News, Randy Philips said he would like the Jackson family to be on stage and take part in the show, with celebrity friends of the late icon rotating as stand ins for Jackson.

On Monday, the concert promoters announced that 750,000 Michael Jackson fans could get full refunds for the pop star's canceled 50-night "This is It" concert extravaganza — or opt to receive souvenir tickets instead.

If the show is indeed canceled, the move could help recoup some of AEG's losses from the ill-fated tour. Fans could choose to receive the actual tickets, which it said feature graphics "inspired and designed" by Jackson himself.

If they are able to pull it off, it will be interesting to see how they do it.
