Michael Jackson’s little sister Janet Jackson could be taking her tragic brother’s place for some of the gigs he was scheduled to perform in London.
AEG, the company behind the tragic King of Pop’s 50-night comeback tour, are also talking to Michael’s Jackson 5 costar brothers about appearing on stage to back her.
“Janet has been sounded out about fronting some of the shows,” an insider told British newspaper The Sun.
“A number of discussions have taken place and things are looking hopeful.
“Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon have been approached as well, with the idea that they would perform as the backing band.
“A highly technical version of MJ as a silhouette performing on stage has been discussed.
“It is possible to create an impression that Michael is actually there, giving fans a place to mourn and celebrate his music.
“Executives are keen that they do go ahead.”
It was recently reported that Justin Timberlake could be stepping in to save the day.
“Michael was Justin’s idol, like he was for many artists,” said a source close to the Sexy Back singer. “Right now he’s still in shock but already there is a big feeling that he and maybe some others in the entertainment industry should do something to show their admiration for Michael and his music.
“Michael was working so hard to make his comeback in London work so it would be fitting if Justin and some of his friends fulfilled at least some of that commitment in some small way.”
