Kiss dropped from Michael Jackson concert


The rock band dropped from the tribute concert after they said Jackson was a child abuser. Kiss were removed from the bill after controversy over comments bassist Gene Simmons made last year. Jackson was cleared of child molestation in 2005.His brother Jermaine said: "This mishandling reinforces my view that this promoter is getting it all wrong."Christina Aguilera and Leona Lewis are due to take part in the October show.The Michael Forever concert is being endorsed by Jackson s mother Katharine and several siblings, but has been opposed by brothers Jermaine and Randy. The furore over Kiss  booking stems from an interview Simmons gave to Classic Rock
magazine last February, in which he said: "Where there s smoke there s fire. There s no question in my mind he molested those kids. Not a doubt."
Jermaine Jackson took to Twitter to say he was "appalled" that promoter Global Live had invited the group, echoing the views of many fans online.
He continued: "It also saddens me that my mother is being used to promote this event. Does Global Live really need an 81-year-old woman to prop up its event? Stop.
"I hear you all. Global Live mishandled this booking in the same way it has misjudged the event s timing and mood of the fan community."
Jermaine said a tribute concert should take place after the trial of Michael s doctor Conrad Murray, who is charged with involuntary manslaughter. The trial is due to start in September.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra review

  Introduction Now that the Pro moniker has gone mainstream, it's Ultra that has come to represent the cream of the crop, and the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra can wear that badge proudly. Limited to its home market last year, the ultimate Mi has gone global this time around, and we're happy to have it for review today. We're torn whether it's the camera system's physical appearance that is more striking or the hardware inside. A simply massive raised area on the back looks bolted on, almost after the fact, it's hard to miss, and it's a great conversation starter even if it's not everyone's cup of tea. But its size is warranted - the main camera packs the largest sensor used on a modern-day smartphone, and next to it - two more modules unmatched in their own fields, in one way or another. Oh, and yes, there's also a display here - because why not, but also because it can be useful. There's a lot more than 1.1 inches of ...
