The acrobatic troupe Cirque du Soleil announced Tuesday that it will put on a live touring show featuring the songs of the King of pop starting late next year. That will be followed by a permanent production in Las Vegas in 2012 at a property owned by MGM Mirage Inc. "Having attended Cirque du Soleil performances with Michael, I know he was a huge fan," John Branca the co-executor of the estate said in a statement. "We are excited to be partners with Cirque du Soleil to give Michael's dans a truly unique way to hear,see and feel Michael's music." Jackson's mother, Katherine, added in a statement, "Our family is thrilled that Cirque du Soleil will pay tribute to my son in such an important way." First its the Beatles, then its Elvis, now its Michael Jackson who's gonna be next Jay Z?
