Michael Jackson Memorial Concert Staff Wages Not Paid

Global Live Events arranged a memorial concert for Michael Jackson in Wales on October 8. The concert faced opposition from the fan community because it coincided with the trial of Michael’s killer and some other issues, and they sent a letter asking for the program to be canceled. The concert went ahead as planned with the presence of the Jackson family and artists such as Christina Aguilera, Elaine Ent Fann, Smokey Robinson, Cee Lo Green, JLS, Goldies Knight, and Huey D, who had recently died. Recently, it has been reported that the concert’s employees and staff still haven’t received their wages even after more than a month. That means the money that was supposed to go from this concert to charities has also not been paid. Ticket prices for this concert were very high, and it was said they were being sold to people who were willing to pay more to charity foundations. The idea of this concert was formed from the beginning with the goal of benefiting charity organizations, and now that such profit hasn’t been delivered to them, fans’ voices of protest have grown loud. Some concert employees have announced on Twitter that they haven’t received their wages. One of them even wrote that the management team—and also the artists who performed on stage—did not receive any payment. Source: eMJey.com / Stereoboard
