Jermaine Jackson talks about the KISS fiasco

Jermaine Jackson, Michael’s older brother and a member of the Jackson Five who from the beginning opposed his memorial concert because it coincided with the trial of Michael’s killer, wrote on his Twitter about the recent fiasco involving the rock band KISS: “Like the fans, I’m horrified that Global Live invited a band like KISS to a concert after everything Gene Simmons said about Michael. No matter that the invitation has been canceled. Mismanaging this event only reinforces the view I expressed that the company’s way of handling this matter is wrong. It also saddens me that my mother has been used to promote this event. Does Global Live really need a woman of 81 years old to support them? Enough is enough.” Jermaine also told fans: “I hear all of your voices. Global Live has mismanaged this event just as they’ve had problems with the scheduling and with reading the tastes of the fan community.” When asked what the right time for a memorial concert would be, Jermaine said: “After the trial ends. After justice is served.” Source: eMJey.com / Jermaine Jackson on Twitter @jermjackson۵
