However, he played down reports that a concert was already in the works featuring such artists as Leona Lewis and Justin Timberlake.
Mr Phillips also rejected calls for AEG to reimburse LA authorities for the costs incurred by last week’s memorial.
"I think the city should cover these costs," he said. "[When] someone of this fame dies, do you not give them a proper funeral"</p
