July 27, 2001 – R&B acts Destiny's Child and Monica, along with legendary performer Liza Minnelli, have been added to the lineup for the upcoming Michael Jackson tribute concerts at New York's Madison Square Garden, September 7 and 10. Destiny's Child will perform a medley of their hits during the Sept. 7 event, according to the show's producer, David Gest, while Minnelli and Monica are set to appear at both shows, Sept. 7 and 10.

In the ongoing saga as to whether the Jacksons will reunion for the tribute, Marlon Jackson said this week that "Randy Jackson will reunite with the original Jacksons: Michael, Jackie, Marlon, and Tito."

Titled "Michael Jackson: 30th Anniversary Celebration, the Solo Years," the show will also feature performances by Britney Spears, 'N Sync, Ray Charles, Whitney Houston, Diana Ross, Ricky Martin, Shaggy, Gloria Estefen, Mary J. Blige, Gladys Knight, Luther Vandross and Billy Gilman. The performances will be filmed for a CBS Special tentatively scheduled to air in October.

Tickets for the tribute will be priced far above the range most fans are accustomed to, with the best seats in the house carrying a $2,500 price tag.
