Brown's Publicist said Chris is not confirmed to perform at Jackson Tribute

Well good news at this point, Chris Brown won't be crooning "I'll Be There" in honor of Michael Jackson, maybe the judge would not allow him the freedom to leave the country or get out of his community services.

The "Forever" singer has put the kibosh on any plans to perform at the M.J. tribute concert in Vienna, hours after Jermaine Jackson announced Brown would be among the headliners at the Sept. 26 show.

I'm not sure anyone will shead a tear for his choice. I'm glad he has chosen not to perform. It would not be something Michael would support, he did not support abuse of any kind.

"Chris is not confirmed to perform or participate in any capacity for this show," the publicist for Brown's label tells E! News.

While we expect Brown to commence his comeback after racking up five years' probation for beating Rihanna, we were surprised to hear his name listed with Mary J. Blige, Akon, Natalie Cole and Sister Sledge for the event. He would need court approval to head overseas and get a break from his 180 hours of community labor. Brown, 20, attended Jackson's funeral and has cited the King of Pop as a major influence.

There was no immediate comment from organizers of the Jackson tribute, but Jermaine's definitely got some 'splaining to do.
