Peas bail on MJ Wales concert

PEAS POOP OUT: The controversial Michael Jackson tribute concert scheduled for this weekend in Cardiff, Wales, took another big credibility hit when it was announced that the Black Eyed Peas had canceled. The group backed out "due to unavoidable circumstances,” according to Chris Hunt, head of Global Live Events, which is staging the concert. "It is with regret that we announce the removal of Black Eyed Peas from the ‘Michael Forever' bill,’ but I look forward to a great night with other earth-shattering artists,” Hunt hyped. “The event is really getting into gear and is going to be a fantastic evening for all." Still on the bill are Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Gladys Knight, Smokey Robinson, Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke, JLS, Diversity, sister La Toya and some of the brothers, along with Beyoncé in a prerecorded video performance.
