The Michael Jackson tribute concert originally scheduled to take place in Vienna this month has been postponed. The location has also been changed from Vienna to London.

The event's promoter, Georg Kindel, told reporters that they encountered scheduling conflicts with performers that were invited to participate. He told the Associated Press, "Maybe we underestimated these issues."

This news follows Katherine Jackson's statement yesterday that she would attent the event, and announcements made earlier this week of A-list acts committing to perform at this event. Artists such as Mary J. Blige, Chris Brown, and Natalie Cole were unable to commit to the originally scheduled event on September 26. Katherine Jackson also announced on Thursday that she would attend the now-canceled Vienna tribute.

It has not yet been announced where the tribute will take place in London. Kindel only specified that it will be scheduled in the first half of June 2010.
