Pete Doherty and the Rumble Strips will perform at a tribute to Michael Jackson.

The artists are joining the lineup for 'David Gest...My Life! A Musical Concert Extravaganza', which features several musicians.

The acts will perform Jackson hit 'Human Nature' in memory of the late singer. Meanwhile, an exclusive interview between Gest and Jackson will be screened.

Gest said: "The tribute to my good friend Michael Jackson will be a heartfelt salute to a person who had a great presence in my life. I'm thrilled to be joined by an All-Star lineup of performers in celebrating his remarkable life and musical achievements.

"These are the artists who inspired Michael Jackson musically as he had a great love of traditional soul music. Adding some of today's contemporary musicians is just the icing on the cake."

The show will take place in October.
