Jermaine Jackson is planning to pay tribute to his late brother Michael Jackson. The show will be held at the Schonbrunn Palace, Vienna on September 26. However among the participants who will lend their voices at the event includes Bollywood playback singer Sonu Nigam. The other artist participating for the tribute includes boy band US5, soul vocalist Natalie Cole and R&B singer Akon.

Excited to pay tribute to his favourite star, Sonu said, “It must be a karmic connection with the Jacksons. Honestly, till I performed in Los Angeles last month, I hadn’t met any of Michael’s family. The universe has a way of bringing people together. Like Mohammed Rafi saab, I’ve been a huge admirer of Michael Jackson as well. But I still can’t believe that I have an immediate connection with his family. At the concert, Jermaine and I hit it off, and before I knew he had agreed to perform with me to a song I had composed and written. I’m leaving in a couple of days to fly to Vienna to participate in the MJ Tribute.”
