Mick Taylor May Fill In For Michael Jackson
Jul 6^th, 2009 at 3:00pm

Mick Taylor may fill Jackson’s 50-show O2 run with ABBA
July 4th, 2009 - 1:56 pm ICT by ANI -

London, July 4 (ANI): Mick Taylor has apparently been approached to alternate shows with Abba, and fill in for the 50-show run previously planned for Michael Jackson at London’s O2 arena.

AEG Live, promoters for the late King of Pop’s slated comeback tour, were said to be trying hard to woo both acts to reform.

“Only Michael Jackson could sell out 50 nights at such a big arena, but Mick Taylor and Abba combined might just rival him. There is huge money on the table,” British tabloid The Sun quoted a source as saying.

When asked for comment, AEG Live CEO Randy Phillips responded, "The Mick Taylor years are remembered as the creative and commercial peak of the Rolling Stones' legacy. He hasn't played any arena shows in the UK since 1973 yet the O2 might have the only stage big enough to hold him. Fans the world over will want to see these shows."

Jackson was due to begin his ‘This Is It’ gigs on July 13.

His sudden death on June 25 has left the organisers facing a multi-million pound black hole, if they are unable fill the slots. (ANI)

Can you imagine turning that down?? I may, even as a serious musician, not be able to pass up bucks like that, no matter who I had to work with or what I had to take!

I could never figure out the interest in Abba, sure they had quite a lot of hits, but all of a sudden this great interest, even going as far as having a musical & that movie based on the musical? I only ever heard of The Beatles being offered big bucks like that to get back together when Lennon & Harrison was alive.

ABBA Gold has been in the top 10 of the catalog CD charts for umpteen years. They all make big bucks just sitting on the couch. Not everyone is so rabidly money hungry as you-know-who.

Only a crowd can make you feel so alone.
