    I am not sure that an article on Wikipedia proves his guilt .... he went through a court of law which eventually found him innocent .... so that is what I believe ....

    Michael Jackson has cancelled his UK tour after he discovered £2000 for a ten year old actually refers to the car scrappage scheme.

    I kinda knew he was gonna reschedule - not the slightest flinch of amazement, its predictable he would. I am more shocked that a self confessed !!!!!phile like Michael Jackson - still has loyal fans. - I'm wondering whether Glitter will be his supporting act :D

    Marleyboy - You are, indeed, a legend.

    I don't see what it "IS" that people like about MJ, I personally think he's a repulsive oddbod.

    But what a sad boring world it would be if we all liked the same thing

    I think his admission of sleeping with kids proves his guilt. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_with_Michael_Jackson Also, why would a grown man have loads of random little boys in his house, plus his theme park was obviously the !!!!!philes grooming dream.

    I use what Michael *SAID* and it's not thoughts it's facts. I also posted a link to the TV programme so you can see what he said himself.

    This tour will probably go down in history as the biggest disappointment/most shambolic.

    I'm not even remotely interested in Jacko or his personal life. I did like some of his songs but that's as far as it goes.

    I just think that years of not singing/performing, a changing body and face, and god knows what other internal damage will make for a very lacklustre show and I wouldn't be surprised to hear of some wierd, random goings-on on this tour, like freaky fans getting on stage, him asking for live llamas backstage or bursting into tears on stage, or walking off halfway through a show. I know he needs the money but this isn't the way to go about it.

    I think he's going to crush his own legend, to be honest. He was a great performer back in the day but I shudder to think what carcrash will unfold this tour. By the way, my favourite performers are all older, seasoned ones, so it's not that I think people are past it after a certain age, eg I am seeing The Eagles and Crosby Stills and Nash, Neil Young, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Elton John and other this year, but they've still got what it takes to put on a great show.

    I think there'll be more letdowns for fans and I always hate booking ahead so far in advance because I think about the potential loss of money for hotel/train bookings etc etc.
