Michael Jackson tribute concert in doubt?

A proposed Michael Jackson tribute concert in London next year has
been thrown into doubt after the company organising the show went
bust.
Austrian firm World Awards Media said that the decision to scrap the
gig had been made last month.
No further details have been released but liquidator Martin Schneider
revealed that the company had lost the financial support of its main
sponsor.
It is not yet known if Jackson's brother Jermaine will still go ahead
and stage the gig himself.
The concert, due to take place next June, was initially intended to be
held outside Vienna's Schoenbrunn Palace in September this year.
However, it was moved to London's Wembley Stadium after encountering
scheduling conflicts.
Former chief promoter Georg Kindel told the Austrian PA that he and
Superfund founder Christian Baha - the majority owner of the now
defunct company - parted ways in October.
