Zouk Tea Bar and Grill is holding a tribute evening to The Jacksons tomorrow evening (Wednesday July 1).
Spookily the event was planned a few weeks ago, but will now take on a special significance in the wake of the megastarâs death.
Amjad Bashir, owner of Zouk, said: âAs a family and a business, weâre shocked and extremely saddened at the news of Michael Jacksonâs sudden death. What was meant to be a celebration of the Jacksonsâ music will now be a tribute to one of the greatest pop artists of all time.
âWeâd like everyone to join us in celebrating Michael Jacksonâs life. This will be a fantastic opportunity for friends to come together to remember him in a positive light and to celebrate his musical genius.â?
As a mark of respect, Zouk has decided to donate part of the proceeds from the ticket sales to the Make-A-Wish Foundation â just one of the many charities which Michael Jackson supported.
The evening will start with a drinks reception at Zoukâs stunning champagne cocktail bar from 7.30pm, followed by a set three-course dinner of delicious, authentic Lahore cuisine.
Guests will be entertained by the dazzling Michael Jackson tribute act of Antony Edwards, who appeared on Stars In Their Eyes in 1997. Antony is an internationally renowned Michael Jackson lookalike, soundalike and dancealike and his tribute act includes the all-time greats: Blame It On The Boogie, Billie Jean and Beat it.
Guests are encouraged to dress up if they wish and dance or moonwalk into the early hours to the hits of Michael Jackson and The Jacksons being spun by Zoukâs resident DJ.
