Overview
Black Eyed Peas have been added to the line-up for the Michael Jackson tribute concert in Cardiff next month.
In a statement, the group said they were delighted to be joining the line-up for the event at the Millennium Stadium on October 8.
"This show is going to be an incredibly personal and moving evening for me," frontman Will.i.am said.
"Remember that Michael's music, his great, great songs, have been an inspiration to my whole life and certainly formed the soundtrack to my childhood.”
He added: “It seems plain to me that the real star of this tribute to Michael is going to be the music itself. And that's the only way it should be."
Jennifer Hudson has also joined the bill, which already includes, JLS, Craig David, Alien Ant Farm and Smokey Robinson.
The concert has won the support of most of Jackson’s family, but not his brothers Jermaine and Randy, who have said it is ill-timed.
