Mumbai, Oct 9 (IANS) Singer Jermaine Jackson has fallen in love with Mumbai city and says he’s planning a concert in his late brother Michael Jackson’s memory here.

“We’ll do concerts in Michael’s memory in various parts of the world, including Mumbai which is now one of my favourite cities,” Jermaine, who’s just had a taste of Mumbai and Bollywood and loved every bit of it, told IANS.

Jermaine is here to record a song with Pakistani singer Adnan Sami who has now made the city his home. They were scheduled to shoot the video of the song on the streets here Tuesday, but couldn’t do so because of the rains. So the music video was postponed.

But Jermaine didn’t mind just hanging around, getting to know Mumbai with his dear friend Adnan Sami.

Jermaine is surprisingly warm on questions on Michael. “Everywhere I go, I see this overwhelming love for Michael. That’s equally true of Mumbai.”

Jaermaine and Adnan are recording the song in T-Series’ recording studio.

“We were supposed to record the song in LA. But on Adnan’s suggestion, we decided to relocate it to Mumbai and make it a tribute to Mumbai. I’m so glad we did that. Mumbai is such a vibrant city. I love the feel of the city. I love the food, I’m very fond of the entire Bollywood culture, the songs dances and colours,” he said.

“Adnan has been a friend first, then a musical partner. We’ve interacted for four years. And now I’m finally here in Mumbai. This is my first visit to Mumbai. And it feels wonderful. The song is shaping up well. And we’re enjoying the process of doing it,” he added.

Jermaine intends to visit the famous spots in the rest of the country. “We’ll do all of that once the music is done.”
