Organisers of the Michael Jackson Tribute Concert have decided to rescind their invitation to rock band Kiss to perform at the show.
Global Live Events announced last night that they had made an “oversight” when booking the band.
Chris Hunt, CEO of Global Live Events, said: “We have listened to Michael’s fans and are grateful to have been alerted to these unfortunate statements by Gene Simmons. “Under the circumstances we fully agree that even though Kiss is a band Michael admired we have no choice but to rescind our invitation to them to appear in our tribute concert. We offer our sincerest apologies to Mrs Jackson and the family for this oversight – our primary concern must be to do justice to Michael’s memory, and to put on a tribute that the family and the fans will find suitable and fit for a King, our King of Pop.”
