Regardless of the Peas missing the event Chris Hunt, chief executive of Global Live Events expects the show to be a “ fantastic evening” stating:

“Due to unavoidable circumstances, the Black Eyed Peas will be unable to perform at this Saturday’s Michael Forever event. It is with regret that we announce the removal of Black Eyed Peas from the Michael Forever bill, but I look forward to a great night with other earth shattering artists. The event is really getting into gear and is going to be a fantastic evening for all.”

Still on the shows list for the Cardiff Millennium Stadium show are:

Christina Aguilera, Smokey Robinson, Gladys Knight, Leona Lewis, and Cee Lo Green

Making a video appearance will be the pregnant superstar Beyonce.

The show is not affiliated with the Michael Jackson estate however family of Jackson including mother Katherine are expected to attend.

For fans of the rock band KISS they are no longer scheduled to perform after organizers rescinded their offer when Gene Simmons criticized Michael Jackson.
