Two more memorial services are in the works in light of Michael Jackson’s 51st birthday on August 29.
In addition to last week’s epic Los Angeles ceremony at the Staples Centre, a memorial in Las Vegas will pay tribute to the late star on his birthday. Another is expected to take place in London at the O2 Arena, where he was to play a mammoth series of concerts.
The Vegas benefit will take place at the Palms Hotel and Casino, inside The Pearl venue.
Jersey Boys star Erich Bergen will co-produce the event, which he said will feature everyone from “cast members in current shows on the Strip to the big guys, along with some bands”.
A memorial to Jackson has already been held in his home city of Gary, Indiana.
Meanwhile, the singer’s brother Jermaine may soon have a meeting with executives at the Wynn Las Vegas hotel to discuss a possible show featuring members of the Jackson 5.

Actress Megan Fox said she has to get drunk to watch herself on screen.
The Transformers star admitted that she didn’t like to watch her films back if she can avoid it.
She said: “I usually don’t watch myself.
“I don’t watch playback. I don’t look at still photos. I have a phobia of it. But I forced myself to sit down.”
She added: “I shot loads of champagne so that I could get through watching it.”
The 23-year-old has previously admitted that she panics if she sees photos of herself.
She said: “I panic if there’s a monitor in the room. I immediately go into, like, an anxiety attack.
“I’m insecure, I think most actors are pretty insecure.”

Katie Holmes has treated her co-star Bailee Madison, nine, to a trip to the theatre to help them become friends.
The pair are currently in Melbourne, Australia, making the horror flick Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark with Aussie actor Guy Pearce.
The star took Bailee to see a matinee performance of the musical Wicked as a special treat.
Katie, who is also looking after daughter Suri, three, while her husband Tom travels with his Australian friend James Packer, plays Bailee’s mom in the film.
A source on set said: “Katie has taken Bailee under her wing. She knows what it’s like to be young and to be working on a film set so she’s been looking after Bailee as best she can.
“The trip to the theatre was a special treat. They sneaked in a back way so that they wouldn’t be noticed. They had a wonderful time. The pair get on well, and Bailee is looking forward to meeting Suri.”
The pair have been going though readings of the movie at the film set in Melbourne for the past couple of weeks. Shooting is expected to move out on location in the coming days.
