Alexandra Burke Fans Launch Michael Jackson Tribute Concert Petition

Alexandra Burke fans have launched a petition for the singer to be allowed to perform at the upcoming Michael Jackson tribute concert.

The event, which is set to take place on October 8 at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, will see performances from Christina Aguilera, Leona Lewis, JLS, Craig David and Cee Lo Green.

Alexandra Burke previously told fans over Twitter: "Wow.. heard about the MJ tribute concert later this year, what a spectacle that would be and an honour to perform... I so wanna perform!!"
Having missed out on being invited to perform, Burke's fans have issued a statement expressing their desire for the singer to perform.

The statement reads: "As you all know, singer and X Factor winner Alexandra Burke has always been a huge fan of Michael Jackson, and he has always been an inspiration to her both personally and musically.

"This is reflected in her MJ-inspired song 'Dangerous', along with the dance tribute to him she often does when performing that song live. When Michael passed away, she was devastated, and was one of the first artists to express her sadness, yet undying love for the King of Pop.

"Alexandra herself has expressed a burning desire to perform at the event, and pay tribute to one of her greatest musical inspirations on the stage in Cardiff on the 8th of October. This petition has been put in place to make that happen."

The gig will be organised in conjunction with Global Live Events, with all proceeds going towards US and UK charities.
