'Black Eyed Peas' quits MJ tribute gig in lieu of split

London, Oct 6 (ANI): 'Black Eyed Peas' is reportedly preparing to announce that they will be permanently splitting up after they pulled out of the Jackson tribute concert.

The hit US band has chosen to step out of the tribute concert just a few days before the performance, citing "unavoidable circumstances", and have refunded the money taken.

The Grammy-winning foursome announced an indefinite break in July, but still confirmed for the Jacko gig last month. They also did a free gig in New York last weekend for charity, The Mirror reported.

Pulling out of this concert at the last moment is being considered as the last indication the band members have given to their fans about their split. (ANI)
