The promoters of this weekend’s Michael Forever tribute show in Cardiff have announced that those of you who weren’t able to get tickets for it (which, as there are still plenty available via primary ticket agents is presumably no one, but there might be Jackson fans unable to get to the Welsh capital and/or unwilling to pay £130 to get in), can watch the whole shebang via Facebook for a mere $4-5 (price depending on when you pay).
It’s the first ever pay-per-view event on the social network, or at least that’s what this press release says, don’t go quoting me on that. Online viewers will be able to comment and chat during the show, and for an extra dollar will get access to a best bits package of the Conrad Murray trial so far. And can enter a competition to win a bag of propofol. Do I need to tell you that some of this is made up?
The tribute show will include warblings from Black Eyed Peas, Leona Lewis, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Smokey Robinson, Gladys Knight, Ne-Yo, Jennifer Hudson, Craig David, Alexandra Burke, Alien Ant Farm, JLS, Diversity and Pixie Lott, plus Beyonce will send in a video message.
