Jackson's family will mark the day with a tribute concert in Las Vegas, where an Asian dance-duo from London will perform an MJ act with an Asian rhythm.
London based Asian dancing duo 'Signature' have been invited by MJ's family to perform at the tribute concert in Vegas this weekend - the only MJ tribute act in the world to do so.
Suleman Mirza and Madhu Singh, who became popular after featuring on Britain's Got Talent show in April , are known for their unique mix of MJ's lyrics and dance moves with traditional Bhangra music.
They are set to perform for 15 minutes at the concert, which will also feature cast from the Lion King, Phantom of the Opera and Jersey Boys.
"It's bittersweet. We are honoured to be there but wish it wasn't this way," said Mirza.
"There are 100s of MJ tribute acts but only a few complement his music and stand out," said Madhu.
The duo met at a college talent show and have been performing together since 2000. Suleman is a die-hard MJ fan and brings his style of dance and music, while Madhu complements the act with his Bhangra moves.
The result is a choreographed comedy dance routine with smooth moonwalks and jhatkas (thrusts) after stage shows now the duo are also looking at film offers and say they can't wait to work in Bollywood.
