Michael Jackson’s Misery Concert Of Cash Cowdery And Crassery (or: Michael Forever Tribute) is going ahead next weekend in Cardiff, despite the fact that absolutely no-one from Michael’s family wants it to go ahead, for fear of distracting everyone from the trial of Dr Conrad Murray.
Wait. What’s that?
Sorry, nearly everyone in the Jackson family doesn’t want it to go ahead. So who is letting the side down and letting money come first? It couldn’t be anyone else! That’s right! It’s La Toya Jackson and she’s going to actually perform at the show too! What a gasping idiot.
So, just in case you need a catch up, this is where we’re at.
Michael Jackson died a couple of years ago and everyone is saying that Dr Conrad Murray manslaughtered one off all over the former King Of Pop with a hospital worth of Propofol. Okay?
Now, the whole family has been pretty angry that a tribute show is going ahead (in Wales, obviously a place hugely associated with Jackson) while the trial is going on and, worse still, the line-up of performers is weaker than MJ during the This Is It rehearsals.
So step forward La Toya, a woman who once said that Michael actually did touch some children inappropriately, stripped for Playboy, bailed on a series of shows at Moulin Rouge and appeared on British Celebrity Big Brother… now, to perform at a tribute gig that her siblings are on record as being squarely against.
Class.
She says:
“I have put musical performance behind me for roughly two decades, but there will never be another magical moment such as this to celebrate Michael with his fans to perpetuate the importance of his legacy. I am honoured to share the stage with the incredible performers in this line up and am certain that nothing would make my brother smile bigger or brighter than this tribute concert.”
“In speaking with my mother yesterday, I asked her where she thinks Michael would rather have us be, in this courtroom filled with negativity and lies or on a stage celebrating his music, his legacy and his life and she said without a second of thought, ‘Celebrating his Life with family and fans. I looking forward to putting on a great show and making my brother proud.”
We can only hope that she performs ‘Sexbox‘ because it’s got such a brilliant title.
Anyway, La Toya will join legends like… uuuh… Alien Ant Farm, 3T, Alexandra Burke, Pixie Lott and… ummm… Diversity.
It really is what Michael would’ve wanted. A boundary-pushing spectacle filled with the biggest, envelope-stretching stars.
Christ.

OH....DEAR...GOD says
Jesus Christ….I do sooooooo feel sorry for those poor bastards in Cardiff. Imagine, if you can for a moment, what they will shortly be going thru. People wandering about town like their dead idol in full thriller getup, touching every child they can reach (cause that’s what their idol would do), singing off key throw up your kippers songs like “heal the world”, and doing collective “he-he’s!”. And then you add in Latoya Batshit Crazy Jackson? Jesus wept. Literally. You sorry wankers. Good fucking luck.
