Jermaine Jackson Accuses Michael Forever Organisers Of Using His Mother

Jermaine Jackson has taken a dig at Global Live Events, the promoters behind the ill-fated Michael Forever tribute concert, through his Twitter claiming the bungling organisers are using his mother in their bid to hold the biggest MJ tribute concert.
Jermaine has been an active figure in the campaign against the Michael Forever concert, which Katherine is endorsing. Now, in a multi-tweeted attack on the promoters, the star has accused them of using his 81 year-old mother in the build-up to the show, as well as slamming the inclusion of KISS on the bill.
I'm appalled as all fans that GlobalLive @M4tribute booked an artist like KISS after all Gene Simmons had said about Michael... he wrote. It doesn't matter KISS' invitation is revoked. This mishandling reinforces my view that this promoter is getting it all wrong...
He then continued: It also saddens me that my mother is being used to promote this event. Does Global Live really need an 81yo woman to prop up its event? Stop. I hear you all. Global Live mishandled this booking in the same way it has misjudged the event's timing and mood of the fan community.
He also later re-highlighted his views that the concert should not be held during the trial of Conrad Murray, the doctor who allegedly gave and prescribed Michael the drugs which killed him.
When wld be a good time for a tribute concert? AFTER the trial. AFTER justice.
