Jermaine Jackson has praised his family's unity and loyalty to one another. Speaking to CNN at a school screening of his late brother Michael's movie This Is It, Jermaine said: "We find strength within each other." The singer vowed the clan would not allow money, or fame, to tear it apart. He said: "That's really, really important because we're a family. Throughout the years, the managers, the agents and Hollywood have tried to come between that. What they don't www.cheapestbootuksaler.co.uk know is we were together before we came out here and we're going to continue to be together." Jermaine said he stayed out of the battles that arose from Michael's estate, where lawyers for his mother, Katherine, fought those for his father, Joe. Katherine initially objected to the executors chosen by her son, as did Joe after she backed down. "When there's a lot of fame and fortune ugg sale uk and attorneys, accountants and advisers and managers and agents, it gets like this. But at the same time, my mother is the boss and regardless of what the executors want to do at the end of the day, she has the say," he said.
Jermaine Jackson denied reports that stars he announced for his brother's Vienna tribute concert had dropped out of the concert. Jermaine blasted a negative wave of media reports that claimed Mary J Blige, Natalie Cole and Chris Brown had pulled out. "It bothers me a great deal to have the type of negative wave that is coming from the States," he said when asked about the reports. "This tribute is not about name dropping, it's about honouring someone who gave his all to the world." Jermaine said he talked with Blige and she was trying to sort through a scheduling conflict. "I actually spoke to Mary herself, and she really is working it out to try to be here," he said. Blige said she regretted she was unable to participate due to an event in Milan. Jermaine said he has spoken to Stevie Wonder, Chris Brown, R. Kelly, Akon, Natalie Cole and Angela Bassett regarding the show, set in a majestic Austrian castle.
