Two years after losing their famous father, Michael Jackson's children are making plans to travel to Wales to join the star-studded musical tribute to the King of Pop.

According to TMZ, Jackson's children are getting push back from two of their famous uncles.

A Jackson family rep told TMZ: 'Paris, Blanket and Prince have been asked to attend the MJ Tribute in Wales and they have decided to go.'

The rep added: 'They are extremely excited and they're hoping they will have the opportunity to contribute in some way by making a speech.'

However, the rep says: 'Jermaine and Randy are fighting it,' because the brothers believe the timing of the tribute is 'inappropriate' because it will take place during the criminal trial surrounding Jackson's death.

Earlier this week, the children paid to tribute to their father in Los Angeles.

They were joined by their aunt LaToya and grandmother Katherine where the group unveiled artwork by the singer and donated it to the city's Children's Hospital.

Meanwhile, it has been announced that British singer Leona Lewis will take part in a star-studded musical tribute concert later this year in Wales.

Leona will be taking to the stage at Cardiff's Millenium Stadium on October 8th as part of the Michael Forever Tribute Concert.

She will be joined by musical stars including Christina Aguilera, JLS, Cee Lo Green, while singers including Jay-Z, Kanye West and Justin Bieber have apparently been approached for the occasion.

A statement from the promoter Global Live Events read: 'The organisers of the Michael Forever Tribute Concert are very mindful of the expectations of the fans, who have waited over two years for an event that will do justice to Michael's musical legacy.
'Some of the greatest names in music are already signed, and more are trying to shuffle other commitments to come on board.'
It is not yet clear if Jermaine and Randy will put their concerns aside to attend the concert.
