Michael Jackson Estate Courting Big Names For Tribute Concert
by Free Britney at .Michael Jackson's mother, Katherine, has reached out to some of the biggest stars in music in hopes that they will perform at a tribute show for her son.
Jay-Z, Kanye West, Cee Lo, Chris Brown, Justin Bieber, Christina Aguilera, Usher, Bruno Mars and others have received invites (below) from Katherine.
Katherine Jackson is asking them to perform 1-2 of their favorite MJ songs in Cardiff, Wales on October 8, promising "first class travel accommodations."
So far, Chris Brown, Justin Bieber and Bruno Mars have respectfully declined due to scheduling conflicts, while Christina and Kanye are leaning towards going.
Cee Lo Green, meanwhile, has already committed.
Tickets to the event have not gone on sale yet, but it's still very early. Promoters say they will become available once a complete line-up is booked.
It should be a memorable night, to say the least.

The "Estate" has nothing to do with this and should stop it even if they have to sue Katherine. I read she signed a contract agreeing to have the children promote it - if true something should be done to protect those kids even if they are removed from the jacksons
