Concert organizers announced Wednesday that the start of Michael Jackson’s highly anticipated concert series in London this summer would be pushed back a few days, and in the case of some of the concerts, several months.
A delayed start for Jackson’s This Is It concert series is necessary “in order to meet the challenges presented by such a massive and technically complex show,” according to a message sent to ticket-holders by concert promoter AEG Live.
“We apologize to all disappointed Michael Jackson fans and remain extremely dedicated and focused on creating an exceptional live music experience,” said producer and director Kenny Ortega, who is collaborating with Jackson on the shows.
