Mary J. Blige, Chris Brown and Natalie Cole are among the top artists who are scheduled to perform at a Michael Jackson tribute concert in Vienna on September 26, according to an Associated Press report.
Organizers of the concert have left open the possibility that superstars like Madonna might also perform at the 17th century palace in Austria’s capitol, where the event will be held. The organizers have said that up to 25 performers will take the stage at the concert, which is being billed as the main global tribute for the King of Pop. More names will be unveiled later this week in London and Berlin.
Sister Sledge, Akon, Angela Bassett, and the Germany-based boy band US5 also are among the 13 artists confirmed so far.
“We’re very excited - the list is growing more and more,” Jackson’s brother Jermaine said, adding that “many major Bollywood names” and artists from the Middle East also would be involved.

Wow, I can't believe Chris Brown was actually invited to take part in this tribute. Isn't the Jackson family worried that Brown's recent controversy might ruin the event?
