Cee Lo Green Sparks Rumours of Michael Forever Tribute Concert Cancellation

Passionate Michael Jackson fans may have finally had their prayers answered as Cee Lo Green, one of a range of acts confirmed to be playing the Michael Forever tribute concert, sparked rumours that the gig had been cancelled.
For the last six weeks the Michael Forever tribute concert has been at the forefront of the music news scene, as fans and family members feuded with under-fire promoters Global Live Events over the timing, line-up and charity donation scheme of the concert – as well as the scheduling of KISS, whose frontman Gene Simmons publicly called Jackson a child molester - despite the late singer being cleared of all charges by a jury in 2005.
Hundreds of official fan forums have begged for the cancellation and hundreds of you have written to Stereoboard calling for the gig to be called off. And now, despite desperate attempts by the organisers to make sure the gig goes ahead, it looks as though Cee Lo Green may have delivered the news you have all been waiting for.
“I just read the gig was cancelled,” Green said in an interview with Canada.com. “so I'm not sure. But I'm up for it - I already have my bags packed. It's honourable to be asked by the family and estate to celebrate the life and accomplishments of Michael Jackson.”
There have been no official statements or talks about the concert being cancelled, but there must have been at least some news flying around for Green to talk publicly about its cancellation. How would you feel about the gig being cancelled? Tell us in the comment section below.
