Last night the world watched several entertainers dishing out their best songs in honour of the king of pop music the late Michael Jackson. Although the concert was marred by family disagreements, the audience had a splendid time. Michael's three children took to the stage wearing Michael Jackson's iconic jackets to the amusement of the audience.
The trio joined family and the showbiz elite last night to celebrate Jacko's life with a memorial gig in the Welsh capital - but the singer's siblings have been divided as to whether or not to attend. Tito, Marlon, Jackie and La Toya all performed at the concert, while Jermaine, Randy and Janet were notably missing. The absentees believed that the show was 'inappropriate and ill-timed' due to the current trial of Conrad Murray, the doctor charged with involuntary manslaughter over Jacko's death.
Jermaine and Randy both said in a statement, they said: 'We feel that the most important tribute we can give to our brother at this time is to seek justice in his name.' While Marlon said he respected their decision, adding: 'Each one of us grieves differently. We want to celebrate the positive side of his life, the positive things that he did.'
In your opinion, was it okay to stage this concert when the Jackson trial is still ongoing? Let me have your opinions below.
