The planned Michael Jackson tribute concert in Vienna this month has been postponed until 2010. It's amazing what having NO performers will do for a concert.
Citing scheduling conflicts, the event's promoter, Georg Kindel, made the announcement today and said the concert would now take place in London. As for why the delay, Kindel said they "underestimated" the scheduling issues many of the top performers had.
As we first reported, Natalie Cole said she wouldn't be there because she's set to attend an event with the Dalai Lama in Memphis. Chris Brown and Mary J. Blige were promoted as being part of the event -- but denied any involvement.
UPDATE -- Jermaine Jackson, who was helping to put this whole thing together, just posted a long-winded apology/explanation, that reads in part, "Instead of eight weeks we now have eight months to prepare and some of the stars who would not have been able to participate in the Vienna concert, but expressed their wish to participate in this event, will be able to perform live on stage at the renowned Wembley Stadium in London in June 2010."

No, really -- don't call it a comeback.
Amy Winehouse just -- quite predictably -- canceled her comeback show in London. She was scheduled to perform at the Shepherd's Bush Empire on May 31.
Amy's management released a statement apologizing to anyone who bought tickets for the show. No apology needed though -- they should have known what they were getting into when they bought the tickets in the first place.

Citing "recent events involving Rihanna," event organizers in Malaysia have postponed a concert she was scheduled to perform at this week.
Reps for the show were quick to point out that the concert scheduled for February 13 is not canceled -- but rather Rihanna's people will come up with a make-up date sometime in the next two weeks. The show in Kuala Lumpur drew heavy press after Rihanna agreed to conform with Malaysia's strict rules on performers' outfits.
As we first reported, Rihanna is the victim in an allegedly brutal attack involving boyfriend Chris Brown.

A family emergency caused Usher to 86 his performance at a pre-Grammy party last night -- and one report claims it's because his wife is in trouble after having cosmetic surgery.
Music bigwig Clive Davis announced at his Pre-Grammy Bash that Usher's cancellation was due to a "serious injury in the family" -- and according to Access Hollywood, his wife Tameka had "experienced complications from plastic surgery" in Brazil.
Access claims a neurosurgeon is on the way to South America to assist Tameka -- who gave birth to their second child back in December.
