    I've seen it all now. What a way to get out of doing 50 concerts which everyone said was too much for him. Some people who have paid OTT for tickets via various ways will be even more gutted.

    eBay sales would be entitled to full refunds and guaranteed by Paypal/eBay. The sellers will be the big losers.

    I like the way yahoo.com put "dies". Is it true or a way out? I hope he's not dead and that he is just in hiding. Wouldn't wish him dead even if he did want to cancel all his concerts and evade the law suits etc.

    Maybe one or 2 but not the number that are planned. Unless he's got a whole team of look alikes ready to do the shows for him.
    Well, it sadly looks like I was right.

    On a serious note though, I'd be surprised if the backers had proper insurance for the gigs as MJ was a major risk as it was so, as crass as it sounds, be checking the T&C's if you did get tickets.
