(Cover) - EN Showbiz - La Toya Jackson is coming out of retirement for the Michael Jackson tribute concert.

The 55-year-old singer is planning a heartfelt performance at the concert on October 8. She is the latest name to be added to the bill and is looking forward to honouring her late superstar brother.

"I have put musical performance behind me for roughly two decades, but there will never be another magical moment such as this to celebrate Michael with his fans to perpetuate the importance of his legacy," La Toya said. "I am honoured to share the stage with the incredible performers in this line up and am certain that nothing would make my brother smile bigger or brighter than this tribute concert."

Michael died in June 2009 of acute Propofol intoxication. His personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray has been charged with his involuntary manslaughter. He is currently on trial in Los Angeles and has denied the allegations.

Members of the Jackson family including Janet, Randy and Jermaine, are boycotting the concert because it is being held during the court case.

However, La Toya insists Michael would have wanted his family to pay tribute to him and his love of music.

"In speaking with my mother yesterday, I asked her where she thinks Michael would rather have us be, in this courtroom filled with negativity and lies or on a stage celebrating his music, his legacy and his life and she said without a second of thought, 'Celebrating his Life with family and fans.' I'm looking forward to putting on a great show and making my brother proud," she added.

The Michael Forever Tribute will take place in Cardiff, Wales, and will also feature performances from Christina Aguilera, The Black Eyed Peas and Cee Lo Green. (C) Cover Media
