Michael Jackson fans will have a chance to enjoy classic songs of their idol in a show to memorialise the King of Pop at the Sofitel Metropole Hotel, Hanoi, on July 16.

While world-wide fans of Jackson are heading to the Staples Center, Los Angeles, US, where a ceremony to remember Jackson will take place on July 7, his fans in Hanoi will have their own memorial ceremony at Angelina bar, Sofitel Metropole Hotel on July 16. The show is open for all fans.

DJ EKS and Kruise will perform legendary Jackson songs like Billy Jean, Black or White and Heal the World.

The organiser said that the show would not be like a funeral but rather a celebration of Jackson’s songs. Photos of the King will be projected onto a big screen.

DJ EKS said he will re-mix Jackson songs and some songs of the Jackson 5 with famous singers in a different style.

“I have been a fan of Michael Jackson since 1992-1993. I was very shocked hearing that he died,” said DJ EKS.
