Michael Jackson was in mid-rehearsal for his London tour and concert at London's O2 Arena, but then he died on June 25, 2009 before his July 13th performance could happen.

Just by coincidence Madonna was set to perform as well, and she will pay tribute to her late friend, Michael, from the stage he was to performo on this summer.

The Material Girl will debut a special song and dance to honor Jackson. On Friday, rehearsal photos were posted online of the tribute sequence, which features Madonna flanked by a Jackson lookalike wearing his signature white glove.

Madonna is an American recording artist, actress and entrepreneur. She made a series of hit singles and also became an actress, best known for her lead role as Eva, in Evita (1996).

Madonna is ranked by the Recording Industry Association of America as the best-selling female rock artist of the twentieth century.

In regard to her friend, Michael Jackson dying, Madonna said:

I can't stop crying over the sad news.  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."
