In an interview with France 2, a French television channel, Jermaine Jackson has given the strongest hint yet that Janet will appear alongside her brothers in a show at London’s O2 Arena on 29th August to celebrate the life of Michael Jackson.

He said: “There has been talk that we are going to do something at the O2 on the 29th with my brothers and also Janet.

“But just know this: there will be never be another Jackson 5.

“We’ll be just The Jacksons, because I feel that Michael played a very, very important part in the Jackson 5 and to do that would not be fair to him. We will tour and he will be with us always.”

The Sun newspaper is reporting that Janet will fill in for brother Michael at the gigs he was scheduled to perform in London.

A source told The Sun: “Janet has been sounded out about fronting some of the shows.

“A number of discussions have taken place and things are looking hopeful.”

The insider added: “Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon have been approached as well, with the idea that they would perform as the backing band.”

The Sun reports that it is unlikely Janet would do the full run at the O2 – due to start on July 13 and run until next March.

The idea is apparently one of a number of options being worked on by promoters AEG Live, who face huge losses if the shows are scrapped.
