MICHAEL JACKSON’s brother JERMAINE broke down in tears at a press conference in London on Wednesday (09Sep09) – revealing he hasn’t had time to mourn his sibling because of the pressure to organise the upcoming tribute concert.
Jermaine is the driving force behind the gig, which is set to take place in Vienna, Austria on 26 September (09), to pay homage to the late King of Pop.
But the stress of organising the event, as well as the singer’s memorial services in Los Angeles, has taken its toll on Jermaine, who cried in front of reporters when asked how he is coping since his brother’s death.
He says, “We haven’t had time (to mourn) yet. Michael didn’t belong to us, he belonged to the world. We have to give the world what they want. It’s tough, very tough.”
Jermaine also hit out at rumours the rest of the Jackson family don’t approve of the planned concert, adding, “I am not happy with the talk being said in the press about the support isn’t there (sic). My mother from the very start supported this.”
