Jackson Family Concert for Japanese Children
The Jackson family is holding a concert for the earthquake-stricken children of Japan. The concert will be under the name Michael Jackson and will serve as a tribute to him.
On Sunday, Catherine, Michael’s mother, said during a press conference at the Claridge’s Hotel in London, with tearful eyes:
“If Michael were alive, he would definitely want to do something for those kids. Michael loved children, and he would surely help children whose parents or homes were taken from them.”
Catherine says her sons will perform on stage as the Jacksons group, and she will be very happy to see them together again.
After this news was released, Jermaine Jackson wrote on Twitter that he will not attend this concert.
The concert, titled Michael Jackson Tribute Live, will be held in Tokyo on December 13 and 14, and the proceeds will go to the ASHINAGA Foundation. Ticket sales will begin on October 12.
The brothers said the following about the concert:
Jackie: “This concert can help the children. I’m very happy that I can put a smile on their faces.”
Marlon: “Our music brings us closer together. Children can’t live without guidance. We want to guide children on the right path. I’m happy that music can help people in this way.”
Tito—who had visited the country after the earthquake and tsunami in March—also said that, in his opinion, music unites people around the world: “People become one, with one mind and one race.”
