Bollywood dance choreographer Remo who was on the panel of popular dance show Dance India Dance has planned a memorial concert for pop icon Michael Jackson in the city.
“Michael Jackson has played a very important role in my life. Where I come from, I wasn’t fortunate enough to have formal dance training so it was his dance videos that inspired me and taught me all that I have learned today,” said an emotional Remo when StarBoxOffice contacted the talented choreographer.The choreographer who has planned a concert in the pop icon’s memory is in talks with renowned musicians and dancers from the industry who will be part of the mammoth concert.
Remo said, “People from the music and dance industry who have had the opportunity of meeting and interacting with Jackson such as Farah Khan and Prabhu Deva will perform at the event. Many choreographers and dancers who have been inspired by him will also perform at the show.”
When we quizzed him about the songs that will be played at the concert, he replied, “We will only perform MJ’s songs and singers such as Sunidhi Chauhan and Shaan will try to sing his songs as well. Though no one can sing like him we will try our level best, also there are many bands who have made their living by only singing his songs, they too will perform at the concert.”
When we contacted Sunidhi Chauhan, the singer was ecstatic and said, “I am very happy to be a part of the show and the talks are still on at the moment.” The show will also dedicate its proceeds to charity. Remo confirmed, “Michael Jackson always had a soft corner for children and we will make sure that the proceeds of the show goes to underprivileged children.”
On him reprising his position in Dance India Dance 2, the choreographer stated, “I will be reprising my position on the panel and I wish the others too return on the show. The dancers of Dance India Dance will also perform at the show.” MJ bid adieu to the world but his music will indeed live on forever.
