Los Angeles - Beyoncé Knowles is to perform at the upcoming Michael Jackson tribute concert - via satellite.

The singer was a huge a fan of the Thriller hitmaker - who passed away from acute Propofol intoxication in June 2009, aged 50 - and it has now been confirmed she will take part in the Michael Forever tribute concert, which is due to take place at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, on October 8.
