The Facebook broadcast of the Michael Jackson tribute concert has been cancelled due to rights issues, technology partner Milyoni will announce Friday morning.

Milyoni originally teamed with Ridgeline Entertainment to . After a PCMag reader noticed that the link to the show now generates a "page not found" error, however, he contacted PCMag. When asked, the Milyoni representative said that music labels had brought "legal challenges" to prevent the show from being streamed.

The live broadcast from Cardiff, Wales, scheduled for a 10 AM PT start on Oct. 8, was scheduled to cost $3.99 via PayPal or $4.99 the day of the show. Users could also purchase access to the show using Facebook Credits, either 40 Credits in advance or 50 the day of the concert.

That money will now be refunded, Milyoni president John Corpus said in a statement.

"Due to legal challenges brought by the music labels that own the rights to Michael Jackson's lyrics, concert promoter Global Live Events has notified us that the live Facebook broadcast of the Michael Forever tribute concert has been cancelled," Corpus said. "As the technology provider behind the live Facebook broadcast, Milyoni will fully refund all customers who pre-purchased access to the concert using Facebook Credits or PayPal.

"While social media presents a new opportunity for artists and concert promoters to reach global audiences, it is still a new and disruptive frontier ripe with challenges," Corpus added. "Milyoni will continue to work closely with our music and entertainment partners to pursue this new channel of distribution, beneficial to both artists and fans worldwide."

Mother Katherine Jackson announced the "Michael Forever The Tribute Concert" with Marlon, Tito, Jackie and La Toya Jackson earlier this year.

The reported lineup includes Christina Aguilera, The Black Eyed Peas, Jennifer Hudson and Smokey Robinson, plus Cee Lo Green, Leona Lewis, Craig David, and 3T, otherwise known as Tito Jackson's three sons.
