JLS are in talks to support Michael Jackson on the UK leg of his world tour according to sources close to the band. The source told local newspaper Croydon Guardian that the talks were ongoing for JLS to appear on Michael Jackson’s huge UK tour.

The source said: “The talks have been going on since last year – they are on the same record label as he is, which helps.”

The four members of JLS have already indicated how much Michael Jackson’s music has influenced them. JB of the group said: “It would be fantastic to meet him – he is a legend in the music world.

“He is an idol and a mentor for all of the boys, to meet him, to talk to him, to tour with him would be out of this world.”

JLS were runners-up on X-Factor show, losing out to Alexandra Burke. JLS are now touring with the rest of the X-Factor finalists.
