However, MTV has announced that while Jackson will honour the King of Pop with her special appearance, Gatson and Payne will not be involved in staging the act.
The 43-year-old has won nine VMAs during her career, while Michael won several awards for his 'Thriller' video.

The 2009 VMAs will be broadcast on September 13 from New York City.
