Michael Jackson would have turned 51 on Aug. 29, and the promoters of his planned This Is It tour are hoping to celebrate with a concert. It would take place in London and feature Jackson's rehearsal footage and appearances by members of his family. In other words, it would be a Michael Jackson concert - with all the ingredients except the King of Pop himself.

"This is more than a tribute, this is Michael's last masterpiece," Randy Phillips, CEO of AIG Live, told TIME. "The obvious date is August 29 - it's his birthday, and that's what we're shooting for." Phillips says the show would include "the brothers, possibly Janet" and the existing band against a backdrop of hours of Jackson video. The location: London's 02 Arena, where the tour was originally supposed to start on July 13. (See pictures of people around the world mourning Jackson.)

While talks with the family are still very preliminary, their initial response to involvement with the show has been "excellent," says Phillips. "They like the idea of taking their brother's last work and showing it to the world," he says. (The Jackson family spokesperson declined to comment on this story.) Phillips says that the Rev. Al Sharpton even mentioned Aug. 29 to him as a good date over drinks at the Four Seasons. (See pictures of places to honor Jackson's memory.)

Phillips, who plans to sit down this weekend with Jackson's choreographer Kenny Ortega to "figure it out conceptually," envisions it as a singular "pay-per-broadcast vehicle."

"This show would be This Is It, " he says. "The only thing missing would be Michael Jackson in person."

The producers had spent $15 million filming 130 hours of footage of Jackson's rehearsals, including three songs in 3D, which would be incorporated into the concert.

Michael Jackson will never go away.

I think he'll be bigger in death than Elvis was/is.

Didn't you ever see weekend at bernies ?

maybe not

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

no doubt...

The best part, is they'll be able to dig him up and prop him on stage year after year. Since he's made of plastic, he should keep well throughout the next century.

Due to his alleged ridiculous overspending and "high maintenance" lifestyle, he is probably worth alot more dead than alive, in strictly the business sense.

Please do not misconstrue this as I wished Jackson any ill, because I did not.

:2 cents:

Since he's not around to spend more than he makes, he will always be a cash cow.

The amount of money his estate will make should dwarf Elvis'...who is still often listed as a top celebrity earner each year.

the best are the mj domains on ebay that are like 6 words long and people have buy it nows for 200,000. fucking hilarious.

They need to get that $15 Million, Back!

AEG just doesnt want to give any money back to the ticketholders...and they see that they will make even more money on a "tour"....

15million dollars, yet the taxpayers of CA paid 1.4million for the memorial....1.1 alone on the 4300 cops for their overtime...then ask for donations from fans?...what about the family paying for it?

how about the millions he paid in taxes ?

shit with all the $$$ CA made from him they can spend the 1.4 and not bitch.

thats bullshit....so he paid his taxes like everyone else and i have to help pay for his "fake" fans to pay tribute....ok...then by your theory i should be able to use taxpayer money for my funeral....i paid them, Ca makes money off my taxes, so CA should pay for police and trash at my funeral....

your trying to compare what you have paid in taxes to what he has paid in taxes over the years ? Funny shit.


If 10k people showed up to your funeral yea there would be cops there to make sure everything was peaceful and no your family should not be charged for it we pay taxes for shit like cops.
