Michael Jackson's name has been taken out of Quincy Jones' London show.
The music producer's concert was first announced as a night in June celebrating three of Michael Jackson's most iconic albums.
The flyer said Off the Wall, Thriller and Bad were going to be performed with a live symphony orchestra.
That's now changed to Quincy Jones: Presents Soundtrack of the 80s. Defining Albums and Iconic Songs.
Songs by Michael Jackson will still be performed on the night.

Music fans were told there would be back-to-back performances of three of Michael Jackson's albums.

Tickets went on sale for it in February.

In March, two men claimed Michael Jackson had abused them in a Channel 4 documentary called Leaving Neverland.
In the programme, James Safechuck and Wade Robson claim they were abused by the singer when they were children.
Michael Jackson's family deny the allegations against the singer, who died in 2009.
But the claims have cast a huge cloud over his name and his legacy has been called into question.
Some fans are asking for a refund accusing the organisers of false advertising.
