forget you and that leather coat of yours! 
Organiser Global Live Events had planned to announce the headline acts – said to include some of the “world’s greatest artists” – at 6pm yesterday in London.
Michael Forever – The Tribute Concert was announced by some members of the Jackson family last week, but its complicated ticketing system, which involves making a donation to charity, has been criticised by fans.
Two of Jackson’s brothers, Jermaine and Randy, have also distanced themselves from the October 8 supergig at the Millennium Stadium.
They believe the timing is “inappropriate” as it will be happening at the same time as Conrad Murray’s trial – the doctor charged with the superstar’s manslaughter.
Global Live Events last night promised an announcement confirming the line-up would be made today.
Its president, Chris Hunt, insisted “preparations are in full swing”.
He said: “We are hugely excited to say we will be announcing a fantastic line-up, featuring some of the world’s biggest music acts.
“There will also be more headline acts announced in the days to come.”
Jackson fan Daniel Robertson, of Gabalfa, Cardiff, said he would still register for tickets but was concerned by the delay.
He said: “For me, the concert is not about who is going to be there; it is about paying tribute to Michael.
“But I am a bit concerned by the fact they have not announced anyone yet.
“Does this mean they are not getting the names?
“I would like to think they would have released a couple of big names just to keep things going.
“With all these kind of events you usually get the main headline acts announced before you register for tickets.”
