One of the founders of The European Jackson Event, Mr. Thijs Smits says:
“In 2005, I, along with many others worked on an event called The European Jackson Event. Mr. Jackson couldn’t attend, however he participated by providing a video and merchandise for us to give to his fans. Over 1000 adoring fans from all over the world gathered in Eindhoven, Holland to show their support for Michael Jackson in 2005, and with his passing, we will gather one more time to show our respect and our love to the King. This will be an open air event for free with international artists and bands who will pay their tribute to the one and only King of Pop.“
Here is how it looked like back in 2005:
Gary Taylor, President and owner of MJJCommunity.com, is also one of the organizers of this event.
He says:
“Thijs Smits came me with this awe inspiring idea to organize a once in a life time event in the shadow of Europe’s only Michael Jackson History statue. Immediately, I knew this was going to be the event of the year and that it would be a perfect way to honor our Global legendary Icon, the late Michael Jackson. Therefore I, along with the staff and members of MJJCommunity.com are proud to partner with EJE and endorse The Ultimate Michael Jackson Tribute.“
Since the death of Michael Jackson, the statue in Best has turned into a pilgrimage for MJ fans.
Time of the event: 2pm – 11pm August 29, 2009 (After-party will be announced)
