MICHAEL JACKSON - JACKSON MEMORIAL SET FOR APOLLO THEATER
26 August 2009 12:16
MICHAEL JACKSON will be honoured with a permanent memorial at the site of his first ever gig - the famed Apollo Theater in New York City.
The late superstar first took to the stage at the venue in 1969 with his pop siblings when they were billed as The Jackson Brothers.
The group went on to win an amateur singing competition there two years later and the appearance launched the career of the Jackson 5. The pop superstar returned to the Apollo on numerous occasions throughout his career.
Fans gathered at the building in the days after Jackson's sudden death in June (09) and now bosses at the venue have decided to erect a permanent tribute to the star by inducting him into their Walk of Fame.
A plaque to commemorate the star's achievements will be erected on the tribute wall next year (10).
Apollo Theatre president Jonelle Procope, says, "Fans from all over the world (came) to express their memories, grief and condolences for the King of Pop. The wall became a part of that tribute and is now truly a piece of history."
