Plug Pulled On Facebook Live Stream Of Michael Jackson Tribute Concert

Bad news for fans of the King of Pop: The Facebook livestream of Michael Forever: The Tribute Concert has been canceled.
Facebook commerce outfit Milyoni had teamed up with Ridgeline Entertainment for the October 8 event from Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, which will be hosted by Jamie Foxx, with scheduled performers including Beyoncé, Christina Aguilera, The Black Eyed Peas, Jennifer Hudson, and Smokey Robinson.



The event is still scheduled to proceed, but it won’t stream on Facebook. Milyoni explained in a statement:
Due to legal challenges brought by the music labels that own the rights to Michael Jackson’s lyrics, we have been notified by concert promoters Global Live Events and Ridgeline Entertainment that the live Facebook broadcast of the Michael Forever tribute concert has been canceled. As the technology provider behind the live Facebook broadcast, Milyoni will fully refund all customers who pre-purchased access to the concert using Facebook Credits or PayPal.

Milyoni Chief Executive Officer John Corpus added:
While social media presents a new opportunity for artists and concert promoters to reach global audiences, it is still a new and disruptive frontier ripe with challenges. Milyoni will continue to work closely with our music and entertainment partners to pursue this new channel of distribution, beneficial to both artists and fans worldwide.
If you’ve ever bought tickets for an event that got canceled, we’d love to hear from you in the comments section — what was the refund procedure like?

Nice!

"Due to legal challenges brought by the music labels that own the rights to Michael Jackson’s lyrics" :ugeek:

Is it we on the way  now  to expose   HOW Big and Only  Label Company using artist music for own benefits Only and make artist as a slave for his own art?

Hmm, MJ, I guess NO Points will be left out on the issue of Justice and Rights after your fully completed pictures will be touch down last piece.

Will there be anywhere to watch it live on the net.

[voiceforthesilent]

I was really saddened this morning to learn this. I was looking forward to seeing the tribute.

I agree - I can't believe that the music labels would fight this exposure. In my opinion it would draw a lot of people and potential buying of albums. I don't understand but I hope Michael is in control of this too.

Here is the notice that I received.

Have a blessed day

If there is legal issues with putting it live on fb, then why is the concert still going ahead?

[PureLove]

I personally do not care if this tribute happens or not or if the livestream was cancelled or not. I'm not going to watch it. I do not like to hear Michael's songs from others. Only he sings them the best and plus it also disturbs me to hear his songs from other artists. I don't like it. It doesn't matter who is singing his songs, it can be Mariah Carey or Celine Dion, I still don't like it.

[all4loveandbelieve]

Who knows if it will still go on.. Something will happen I feel it..

I totally understand what you are saying and I would have to agree. But, I can't help but wonder if Michael is behind this in some way and that is what had my curiosity going. I just don't think Katherine would take the children there if Michael didn't agree to it. Perhaps I'm wrong.

Have a blessed weekend

I'm actually pretty sure that Michael is behind it but still it doesn't give me any good feelings to hear his songs from other artists. And I'm sure that I'll be learning laters if there were any clues on the tribute. I trust my believers family in finding all clues. I just prefer to skip this one for my own sake.

hmmm, good question.

From the pictures TMZ just posted from rehearsals for the show, I can see family members only.
