Black Eyed Peas Want to Open for Michael’s Concerts

Will.i.am, the first member of the Black Eyed Peas, said that the group would like to open Michael’s summer concerts in London. At concerts, it’s customary for a group or singer to entertain the crowd on stage before the main stage act arrives, so the main program is ready to begin. In his first interview after the first screening of the film X-Men Origins: Wolverine, he said that Black Eyed Peas would open several concerts for U2 in the United States. "I can’t wait to perform at the O2 Arena. We’ve never had a show there. But Michael Jackson has taken over that place. So I want to call him and say: Hi Michael, what’s up—let us open the concerts. He might say (he lowers his voice a bit) ‘Okay, let me think about it.’ I hope he gives us permission." Source: eMJey / Virgin Media
