Remember that Michael\u2019s music, his great, great songs, have been an inspiration to my whole life and certainly formed the soundtrack to my childhood. When I was a little kid of six or seven growing up in Los Angeles, there was Michael recording Thriller, and all his early hits, just a few miles away across town &#8211; obviously I didn\u2019t know him at that time, but I loved him as a fan. Then one day about four years ago, with The Black Eyed Peas well established, I got a call from him I will never forget. I then had the great privilege of working with him and getting to know him and his beautiful family. That\u2019s why The Black Eyed Peas wouldn\u2019t miss being at the Millennium Stadium for this gig on October 8th: we all owe Michael such a lot.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.walesonline.co.uk\/news\/wales-news\/2011\/09\/23\/black-eyed-peas-to-play-michael-jackson-millennium-stadium-tribute-gig-91466-29475048\/#ixzz1YmKUDx1F\">WalesOnline<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Black Eyed Peas will join the star-studded line-up for Michael Forever, the Jackson family\u2019s Millennium Stadium tribute to Michael Jackson.
