Members of Michael Jackson's family are to collaborate with the producer David Gest in a touring tribute to the late singer.
Jackson's brother Tito and sister Rebbie will play a series of dates in the UK and Europe next year. Gest said the spoken-word shows would feature stories about the singer and Q&As as well as music. The singer Deniece Williams, a Jackson family friend, is also taking part.
"The majority of the show will be reminiscences and stories about Michael that the public has never heard," Gest said.
The tour, A Jackson named Michael: Remembering a legend
, will begin next March. Gest has also produced a documentary, Michael Jackson: The life of an icon, to be released on DVD next month.
October's Michael Forever concert in Cardiff, which will feature Christina Aguilera, has not been universally backed by Jackson's family.
Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray, goes on trial this month charged with his involuntary manslaughter in 2009.
