Michael Jackson kids to attend Cardiff tribute concert

Michael Jackson's children will attend his memorial concert at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, it has been announced.

The 'Michael Forever Tribute Concert' will take place on October 8 and feature performances from Christina Aguilera, Leona Lewis, JLS, Craig David and Cee Lo Green.

A Jackson family representative told TMZ: "Paris, Blanket and Prince have been asked to attend the MJ Tribute in Wales and they have decided to go.

"They are extremely excited and they're hoping they will have the opportunity to contribute in some way by making a speech. Nothing has been set in stone yet for how they can help, but they really hope they can."

The late popstar's three children have decided to fly to Wales to watch the tribute, despite objections from their uncles Jermaine and Randy.

The pair recently branded the concert "inappropriate", saying: "We find it impossible to support an event that is due to take place during the criminal trial surrounding Michael's death."

Alexandra Burke fans recently launched a petition for her to perform at the Jackson tribute gig.
