MJ Memorial Tribute UPDATE - Press Conference June 4 - Rome



UPDATE: According to the website of the MJ Memorial Tribute, there will be a press conference this Friday, June 4 12,30 o'clock CET in the multimedia room of the Mondadori Library in Via Del Corso in Rome. Reportedly Tito, Marlon, Brian Oxman and Kathryn Milofsky will be present. Afterwards, 100 free tickets, 200 T-shirts and another 200 caps will be given away. Please note that because of previous false reports from the same organisation of this event, we don't know how reliable this information is. Previously, Tito's management confirmed that Tito is contracted to play at St. Kitts Festival on June 25.

“MJM TRIBUTE – MICHAEL JACKSON’S MEMORIAL TRIBUTE” will be an unprecedented event, a tribute so exclusive and innovative, designed to celebrate a musical legend, exactly one year after his death.

    Activities planned this summer to honor Michael Jackson

    | Posted: Thursday, June 3, 2010 12:00 am

    Michael Jackson fans will have prime opportunities to pay tribute to the King of Pop and his famous family this summer.
    News of assorted activities honoring Jackson were among the announcements Wednesday at a Jackson Family Foundation news conference.
    While the highlight of the conference was the unveiling of plans for a Jackson Family Center in Gary by patriarch Joseph Jackson, foundation President Simon Sahouri and Gary Mayor Rudy Clay, other attractions were discussed.
    Among the highlights was talk of the upcoming International King of Pop Fanvention in August as well as happenings on June 25 marking the anniversary of Michael Jackson's death.
    "The legion of Michael Jackson fans is worldwide," said Renae Brantley, CEO of Fluid Entertainment, producer of the International King of Pop Fanvention.
    Brantley, who attended Wednesday's news conference, said the fanvention will be from Aug. 26 to 29 at the Radisson Hotel at Star Plaza in Merrillville and is expected to draw 1,000 people.
    "We've gotten excellent feedback so far. Fans are excited, and there are fan clubs all around the world posting information about it," she said.
    Brantley also said the proposed Jackson Family Center would be a big boost for Gary.
    "It's wonderful. We need economic development in our community. There are all kinds of wonderful possibilities there," she said.
    August's fanvention will include performances, discussions and vendors.
    "We want to give fans the opportunity to interact with celebrities and professional associates of Michael," Brantley said. Among the scheduled guests? Theresa Gonsalves, the woman mysteriously known as "Billie Jean."
    Brantley promises a variety of special activities and guests, which are still being finalized.
    When Joseph Jackson took the podium, he told attendees this should happen in Gary because "that's where I'm from and that's where I raised my kids. ... As they said (in the song), 'We're going back to Indiana.' And we're coming back and we're bringing something back."
    Clay also spoke of plans for June 25, the anniversary of Michael Jackson's death.
    "There'll be a candlelight vigil and choirs. We're going to put on a memorial celebration for Michael that the whole world would be proud of," he said. Clay added the monument that was placed in front of the Jackson home at 2300 Jackson Street on Tuesday also will officially be unveiled that day.
    "We're hoping and praying that Katherine (Jackson's mother) will do the unveiling of the statue," Clay said.
    "Our love for the Jackson family is deep," Clay said during the conference. "Now hope and opportunity are on the horizon for Gary ... This project is the one. As Michael said, 'This is it for Gary, Ind."
    After the media event, Joe Jackson was asked whether oldest daughter, Rebbie, would travel to Gary on Friday for a scheduled news conference regarding talk of an upcoming concert June 19. Jackson said he didn't know anything about her plans.

    I thought the Rome tribute was cancelled.....

    And the St.Kitts music festival was also supposed to have Tito and his entourage performing over the 24 to 26th June.

    I'm noticing a pattern with all these theme colours...Red, Yellow, Green..

    I've been following "Titotime" and it says the Rome tribute is cancelled.
    The show for June 25 at St. Kitts Festival, Caribbean, South Pacific is cancelled.

    Call me crazy or whatever, but doesn't all the tributes have distinct colours???

    Red, Yellow, Green????

    Even the St. Kitts festival has the same colour theme.

  • I've been following "Titotime" and it says the Rome tribute is cancelled.

    The Rome Tribute is not cancelled, people still can book tickets.
    By the way, Tito won't be there, I bet...
  • ok, the tribute press conference was supposed to take place today at 12:30 @Mondadori Book Shop in Rome and guess what?
    no conference AT ALL !! <!-- s:lol: -->:lol:<!-- s:lol: -->

    This is what is most convincing to me. Do you suppose if he were really dead they would have so much trouble finding stars to come together for a tribute? Don't you think that any star would change a schedule to be there? Michael was friends and collaborated with so many artists. He was such an important Icon in music that everyone would want to take part in this. Instead they can't get any headliners and give the old "schedule" conflict excuse. Hey, Lady Gaga would be there for sure! Anyone called her ?
    We have nothing but disorganized so-called tributes. Does not make any sense at all.
  • Red. Yellow. Green.= JAMAICA
    Could be a hint as to where MJ is...

    Many fans are still asking if we are doing the upcoming Rome tribute. We are definitely not. We will be with our cousins that day. <!-- s:-) -->:-)<!-- s:-) -->

    Yesterday the german tv said that the Jackson Family will make a meeting with friends and family at the 26.June at the Beverly Hills Hotel in LA.
    There where pictures from MJ from May 2009 leaving the Beverly Hills Hotel and the 911 call should be coming from there.....interesting, but i think nothing will be.

    latest on twitter was that rome seems to be off now, too. and tito cancelled a gig for THAT? must be something else, then. i don't think tito cancels a confirmed gig, that was already publicised by his management for a joke. plus, if rome doesn't happen, he could take st. kitts back, doesn't look like it until now. and randy is still talking forest lawn. now there's no tribute at all or just a gathering at the cemetery??? unlikely...

    also on twitter was something interesting from thisisalmostit: summer solstice
    in the northern hemisphere (summer in the north, winter in the south), that is june 21, 2010. close enough...
