Michael jackson tour might not happen

Not a grabbit but might get some answers on here, I posted on the events board and it has hardly had any views.

On the radio on saturday they were saying the tour might not happen so I searched and found this link.

    As you said, not a grabbit and should be posted elsewhere. It's not a general chat forum and you've been here long enough to know this.

    considering a lot of people did buy the tickets on the grabbit board maybe post in the 'gone but not forgotten' page? or if a mod can move it perhaps?

    Either way very interesting info, unfortunately dont have any more myself but will be watching closer for any more, will pass it on if i find out anything else online.

    It's going to be one of those "will he - won't he make it?" sagas, and if/when he does it'll be "was it really him?".
    Me, I haven't shelled out my hard-earned, as I'm not that bothered about seeing him and I don't like the O2.

    If you have followed MJ's career, you will know he attracts more legal actions than MPs have expenses.

    This is just someone trying to cash in on him potentially making money. Expect many more such cases, in fact I believe his so called trusted PR advisor is also sueing him for unpaid dues. Rather like the action with the Bahrain prince last year these actions if they have any merit will probably result in out of court settlements from the promoters. His brothers may appera on the bill with a cut to go to this other company. AEG carried out extensivev due-diligence and I don't think will let this tour not proceed.

    As for Frank Dilieo being his manager, I think he was fired years ago.

    It's all hype - I've got tickets for opening night and I can see there being a delay, everyone getting restless then he pops out and the crowd go nuts. It's all to make the experience that bit more satisying.

    It's going to be like WWF a few years back when Million Dollar Man had the Undertaker, but Paul Bearer claimed he had too. No-one saw PB's and they setup a match. MDM brought out Undertaker, there was a huge delay, then the dongs came on and the other Undertaker came out. It was THE best wrestling moment ever!

    this is a bit 'bad' considering the number of people who bought tickets in advance.

    but to those who have bought a ticket 'you are not alone'. i too thought this tour would be a 'thriller' but now im being told to 'beat it'!. i dont think so. i thought this would be 'one more chance' to see jacko and i cant help but feel ive been hit by what can only be described as a 'smooth criminal'.

    i say we all get together, it doesnt matter if your 'black or white', its 'human nature' to be upset at this news, but at the 'break of dawn' there will be 'blood on the dancefloor' if this is cancelled.

    i, like others were hoping to see jacko and say ' i just cant stop loving you' and what youve done for music. jacko 'you rock my world'.

    but 'its the way you make me feel' with this news that i post this. i want to 'rock with you' and hear my favourite song 'billie jean'. i had two tickets me and '(dirty) diana' had the weekend booked and now i hear this.

    but i urge all others 'dont stop till you get enough'. and if we all get together our 'earth song' will ensure this goes ahead.

    I think not!

    If it was proper wrestling they would have had, Giant Haystacks, Mick McManus, Kendo Nagasaki and Big Daddy to name but a few
