Jackson 4?

[5co77ie]

Michael Jackson's brothers are planning a world tour as the Jackson 4.

The remaining members of the group – Marlon, Tito, Jackie and Jermaine - announced their plans yesterday (09.12.09) for a reunion next year, and hope to recreate the sound that made them stars as the Jackson 5 before Michael went solo.

Jackie, 58, said: "For 40 years, we've had great support from our fans around the world. And we should give them a great tour.

Jermaine, 54, added: "We want to go out there, hit the road and just jam."

They must surely be aware of the number of tributes paid to Michael at the festival, do you think they would consider playing?

Interesting. That'd be good fun.

No it wouldn't. Cashing in on dead family members rarely works, leaves a bad taste in the mouth and let's face it, any credibility they had went out the window years ago.

I'm all for a famous, aging soul act somewhere in the line-up. I'd rather have Smokey Robinson than this lot though.

Was that Lily A wearing a white glove then?

Aha, I know that various celebs mentioned his death, but I didn't know that loads of people were massively affected.

I think I would find it really cringey if the Jackson Brothers performed - to each his own though

oh c'mon .... they were surely too busy thinking up ways to cash in on Wacko's death to notice something happening in a country far far away.

I'm sure Jermaine was on a chat show recently and was told about Glastonbury's response to his brother death.

They could get Paul Rogers to do Michael's part - he's out of work at the moment.

Apart from the arena tour that Bad Company are going to be doing.

Would they be cashing in playing at Glastonbury though?

[Langdale Wolf]

Thanks Langdale Wolf. Your rather poor and unamusing - and factually incorrect - joke has resulted in me getting two tickets to see Bad Company. Jolly good

[sifi]

That's the price you pay for not laughing at my comedy, you grumpy bastard.

[Kyelo]

Imagine if the Jackson 4 played "Bad" and everyone sang "He's dead".

[The Nal]

That's very cruel but it made me laugh! I'm sure I'd be on my back in stitches if I was there!

[rabid]

What the constant jokes? Or everyone singing "Hes dead, he's dead" instead of "Im Bad, Im Bad" when they played it in the bars? Or the signs and tshirts selling "two unwanted tickets to Michael Jackson in the 02".

Imagine if the Jackson 4 played "Bad" and everyone sang "He's dead".

I thought satirising MJ songs went out with Wierd Al Jankovitch?
