Michael Jackson Cancels Opening Comeback Gig ... GOOD!
Michael Jackson has canceled his comeback concert series opening show for July 8th in London, and moved it to the 13th. His other shows in July were moved all the way to March 2010??
And we have just one question...why is he pretending NOT to be ill? From what I have read, although not all totally confirmed, it looks like Jackson is experiencing some major health issues. I have heard lung problems, skin cancer, and a bevy of other ailments.
Hey Jacko, instead of trying to save face (yes, we said it) how about you just call the whole thing off. You can convalesce in the privacy of your own home and stop trying to make it seem like you are well enough to go on tour.
All I have to say about this (easily predicted) cancellation is: karma is a bitch.
Newsday reported from the Associated Press:
Michael Jackson's representatives announced yesterday that the elusive King of Pop will postpone several of his London comeback shows scheduled for this summer.The opening night at the 02 Arena had been set for July 8 but will be moved back to July 13, promoters said. In addition, shows scheduled for July 10, July 12 and July 14 will instead be held in March 2010, The Associated Press reports.
The delays are likely to fuel speculation that Jackson is suffering from health ailments that may curtail his comeback bid.
Recent reports in the British press said the 50-year-old singer was diagnosed with skin cancer last month. Doctors reportedly noticed spots on his neck and precancerous cells on his face. A spokesman has denied the rumors, insisting the star is in "perfect health."
Kenny Ortega, Jackson's collaborator, said the change is needed to deliver a flawless production.
"We apologize to all disappointed Michael Jackson fans and remain extremely dedicated and focused on creating an exceptional live music experience," he said. Promoters said anyone who chooses not to attend the rescheduled shows will be entitled to a full refund.
Jackson's 50 shows are scheduled to kick off in July and stretch into March.
The troubled pop singer has said the series, "This is It," will be his last in the British capital.
Promoters said the tickets sold out within hours of becoming available.
Now I'm sorry, while there are clearly thousands of fans who are willing to overlook the well-documented molestation cases brought against Jackson for molesting boys, including the expensive payoffs to their parents, but I am not willing to forget that he is a blatant, creepy, unrepentant, and "ALLEGED" PEDOPHILE.
