Bangalore, Aug 27 - To give a 'fitting' tribute to the King of Pop Michael Jackson on his 51st birthday, a musical carnival is being organised here to celebrate the legendary singer's music.

Christened 'Heavens Can Wait', the musical event will be organised Aug 29 -- the day Jackson would have turned 51, nine weeks after he passed away after suffering a suspected cardiac arrest June 25.

The Score, a magazine on music is the brainchild behind the event. Bangalore and Chennai's popular Bands - Lounge Piranha, Rusty Moe, Slain, Public Issue and E-flat will pay tribute to the musical icon.

Mother Tekla Auditorium, Casa Brigitta on Brunton Road will be the venue.

'Bangalore's love for pop legend MJ is known to all. Thus we want to celebrate Michael Jackson and his music on his first birth anniversary after his sudden death,' Alan Hadle, founding member and director of The Score, told IANS.

'It will be a musical salute to the late music legend's talent. There will be no dance at the show. We will also launch our magazine, The Score, on the same stage. Our magazine will carry a cover story on Michael Jackson, covering his entire career graph,' added Hadle.

Tickets of the musical gig are prized at Rs.300 and Rs.500, with special discounts.

A portion of the proceeds of the concert will be directed towards funding the Aastha Children's hospital which is part of the Rourkela Childcare Private Ltd.
