Error: Michael Jackson

For the love of G-d, please delete the concert dates listed for him in the Zune Marketplace and on his artist page at Zune.net.

Greetings tdgor,

Unfortunately there isn't anything we can do on this issue. The concert dates are delivered in a data feed from Billboard and until they update that information and send it to us, the tour dates will not change.

That cannot live which eternally lies, and with strange untold eons even death may die.

Can't you disconnect the feed?

Nope, we already got it, no going back. We are looking at trying to block it from being live, but at this point there is nothing that can be done.

Thanks for your response.

At this point I think I will contact Billboard (once I figure out the most effective pathway to attempt this) and protest. Even if those concert dates are turned into a tribute with taped footage or a live Janet Jackson, obviously MJ will never perform those dates and I find it oddly upsetting to see them still advertised. I can't be the only one who finds this upsetting.

Update: I just sent an email to the Director of Online Market Development at billboard.com, because he seemed like the most logical place to start. We'll see if anything happens.
