MONTREAL - A spokeswoman for the Cirque du soleil says the internationally renowned troupe and pop icon Michael Jackson discussed working together last year.
Renee-Claude Menard says representatives for Jackson and the circus met last fall about doing a show that would star Jackson, who died June 25.
But the idea didn't go anywhere, Menard added.
Rumours of the collaboration resurfaced amid U.S. media reports there were plans to move the Neverland ranch to Las Vegas where a museum and theatre would be built in the singer's memory.
American media report that Jackson considered mounting a show similar to the Cirque tribute to the Beatles.
Jackson visited the Cirque's Montreal headquarters in 2003 and met with president Daniel Lamarre.
