Catch a new Madonna Michael Jackson tribute song. Madonna’s Michael Jackson song hits an O2 stage this July 4th weekend.

According to Madonna’s rep Liz Rosenberg says Madonna will debut the new song-and-dance tribute to Michael during her July 4th O2 performance. Jackson was to take the stage just weeks after Madonna.

The two have been close for decades. Madonna had said of Jackson’s passing:

“I can’t stop crying over the sad news. I have always admired Michael Jackson… The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever!…

“My heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family… God bless.”

In 1991 the two attended the Oscars together.

Madonna released to press today on Madonna.com the above photo showing a dress rehearsal with a dancer appearing as Jackson.
