Justin Bieber Honors January 2012

Justin Bieber is a huge fan of the late Michael Jackson, so it's no surprise that the 17-year-old and would want to honor the King of Pop, but this week is different.

Justin Bieber Honors January 2012

January 27 marks the opening of 'Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour' by Cirque du Soleil, which is inspired by the man and his music. MJ is also being honored with a hand and footprint ceremony at the famous Grauman's Chinese Theatre on January 26. Will Justin attend?

"Honoring the greatest @michaeljackson this week," the pop star wrote on Monday in response to a message about the ceremony from Jackson's Twitter account. "He set the bar for all of us. #MJFOREVER."

Amber Riley and Harry Shum Jr. are set to appear at the hand and foot ceremony, which comes just before 'Glee's' Michael Jackson tribute episode, so it'll definitely be a star-studded event. So far, Justin hasn't been announced as a guest, but we could see him at the kick off of the Cirque du Soleil show in Los Angeles the next day instead. Fingers crossed, Beliebers!
