ABBA To Replace Michael Jackson In London?

Since the decision to turn Michael Jackson's 50-date This Is It tour into a tribute show, rumors have been swirling with performance hopefuls.

Reportedly, the show will feature Jackson's siblings and other artists using dance routines, sets and costumes created for Michael's concert at London's O2 arena.

No details have been confirmed, but the concern is that it would be impossible for a tribute show to play more than a few nights at the 23,000 seat venue.

"Fifty nights is absolutely out of the question," said music writer John Aizlewood. "Nobody in the Jackson family is capable of selling out the O2 for even one night, not even Janet.

Meow!

According to The Sun, ABBA is in talks to reunite - for a HUGE paycheck and to fill all those empty dates at the arena - despite the group's previous claims that they would never perform again!

Never say never!

We think no matter who is booked for the show, people will come from far and wide to pay tribute to Michael.
