A music promoter plans to sue to block Michael Jackson from performing in London this year, claiming that a contract signed by the ‘king of pop’ prevents him from giving a concert until July 2010, the head of the promotion company said on Monday.New Jersey-based AllGood Entertainment Inc contends it signed an agreement in November with Jackson’s manager, Frank DiLeo, committing the singer to perform in July 2010 along with his brothers from the Jackson Five and sister Janet Jackson.Under the agreement, Michael Jackson cannot give another concert until that Jackson Family reunion show, said Patrick Allocco, managing partner at AllGood Entertainment.AllGood Entertainment sent a cease and desist letter to DiLeo and to concert promoter AEG Live, which has signed Jackson to perform a series of 50 shows at London’s 02 Arena starting in July, Allocco said. In the letter, AllGood Entertainment warned that its agreement with DiLeo barred Jackson from performing the London shows for AEG Live.A source at AEG Live acknowledged the company had been contacted and called AllGood’s claims meaningless. The source said rehearsals in Los Angeles are continuing in preparation for the July shows at the 02.
