Michael Jackson: Jermaine Jackson to pay tribute to Michael Jackson at Save The World Awards

Jermaine Jackson, brother of the "King of Pop" Michael Jackson who passed away so unexpectedly two weeks ago, will attend the 2009 SAVE THE WORLD AWARDS to be held at the Nuclear Power Plant Zwentendorf, Austria on July 24th. He will accept the award presented to exceptional individuals and organizations working toward a peaceful, sustainable, and livable future in honor of his late brother, who posthumously is being presented with the prestigious prize for his many social and humanitarian achievements.

"I thank all the fans in Europe and around the world who loved and admired Michael for their support in these difficult times. At the SAVE THE WORLD AWARDS we all will be able to remember a very special person as well as celebrate a truly unique artist," says Jermaine Jackson about the event dedicated to the memory of Michael Jackson. The 2009 SAVE THE WORLD AWARDS will have the motto "Heal The World", and serve as a tribute to the greatest entertainer of the 20th century who died much too early.

Jermaine Jackson will perform live one of Michael's favorite songs, "Smile". "He loved it since he was a little boy," is how Jermaine describes the Charlie Chaplin song that he performed so movingly at the Staples Center memorial in Los Angeles for hundreds of millions of TV viewers around the world. Mr. Jackson, who will be traveling to Austria with his family and his long time attorney and friend, Vicki Roberts, will also be part of the all-star lineup performing the grand finale "We Are The World."

Further award winners, presenters and performing artists attending the SAVE THE WORLD AWARDS will be announced within the next few days.
