Michael Jackson's 'This Is It' series will be revamped for a special tribute concert.
According to tour organizers, the original 50-date series will be spun off to create a one time tribute show in September.
Featuring a number of top entertainers, with Madonna being considered, the show will likely take place in Los Angeles where Jackson spent the day before his death in rehearsal.
While the exact date and venue has not been confirmed, sources close to MSNBC say the show will feature several high-profile artists.
Jackson's father, Joe Jackson, has not spoken of the concert but has however, taken control of the King of Pop's estate along with his wife Katherine. Katherine Jackson has also been granted temporary custody of Michael's three children.
In related news, refunds for Jackson's London shows will start tomorrow, July 1 according to AEG.

When a music icon falls the world reacts, and that is all too evident again in the international music scene at the moment. Many of MJ's fans were expecting a meteoric comeback with the concerts in London only weeks away. And many fans around the world were hoping that a massive world tour would happen after that, myself included. Even though I saw him live in Singapore just over a decade ago. Perhaps we expected to much from him. Now we can only 'Remember The Time', that he gave us thru his amazing body of work, and what a great time it was! DJ Duggy Day http://cribeyondbeijing.com/
Michael was definetly a star and it shines on! His talents were un-ending. However, I can only wish that he would have maintained the image he had when he first met up with Quincy Jones. that's the image I have of Michael. God rest his soul.....
I hope Janet Jackson just take over! She is the best ever! Janet Jackson is the Queen Of Pop! Yall people remember that! Janet what dont kills you make you even stronger! I believe its your time to shine again!
Madonna definitely should be there, the Queen of Pop paying tribute to the King. I really hope Justin, Usher, Mariah, Whitney and Janet make apperances as well.
i really didn't listen to michael jackson but my mom was a big idol of him. I did like the song Thriller.
