Black Eyed Peas to play Michael Jackson tribute concert
- Published
The Black Eyed Peas have joined the line-up of the Michael Jackson tribute concert in Cardiff.
Promoters said the US group will perform at the Michael Forever tribute on 8 October.
Other stars booked to appear are Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green.
Michael Jackson's eldest brother Jermaine Jackson is opposed to the concert as it clashes with the trial of Conrad Murray, who is accused of involuntary manslaughter.
Prosecutors claim Conrad Murray caused the pop star's death by giving him a powerful anaesthetic, propofol, to help him sleep.
Dr Murray has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Lawyers for the doctor say the star was drunk and unconscious just before a press conference in London to announce his comeback gigs at the O2.
They wanted to show the video to jurors when Dr Conrad Murray goes on trial in California this week but the judge says it is not relevant.
A jury of seven men and five women has been selected from a panel of nearly 400 people.
