Eeek! David Gest, Pete Doherty To Pay Tribute To Jackson

Thought Lady Gaga teaming up with Michael Bolton was weird? Now we’re faced with the unholy alliance of Pete Doherty and David Gest. Liza Minnelli’s ex has forged a semi-successful career in the UK since featuring on I’m A Celebrity..Get Me Out Of Here! a few years back and coming across as fairly normal, and very funny (no joke).

But there’s something very peculiar about the lineup for his forthcoming concert David Gest…My Life! A Musical Concert Extravaganza¸which is pairing the notoriously drug-addled Doherty with soul legends The Temptations, on a bill that features many old soul stars. And there’s more! “In homage to Gest’s best friend from childhood, Michael Jackson, the entire ensemble will join together to sing his 1983 hit song Human Nature,” the press release announces. The concert takes place on October 14 in London, and we know where we’ll be! Yes, that’s at home, hoping we never have to see Pete Doherty slur his way through one of our favorite Jackson songs.
