LiveTributesJackson.jpgIn the wake of Michael Jackson's death, a number of high profile live events are in the planning stages.

Several online reports say a memorial concert is being planned at London's O2 arena. That's where Jackson was scheduled to begin a series of 50 concerts next week and some elements of the This Is It tour could be highlighted.

"At some point the world needs to see this production, and I would imagine it could be done as a tribute with the family ... and the stars that were influenced by Jackson," said AEG president Randy Phillips.

Producers of Thriller -- Live, a performance of Jackson's biggest hits currently playing in London's West End could also expand into a world tour. And there were already plans for a Broadway adaptation of the Thriller music video in the works before Jackson's death.

Think fans will turn out for these performances?
