Sounds like they're just rumours, I guess we won't find out until he gets out on stage

I'll still be staggered if he even turns up for the concerts.

Think I heard that Britney is known to mime at a lot of her concerts? I think Jacko's a legend of music, but if I paid for a ticket for anyone doing a concert and they turned up and just mimed it, I'd be royally pissed off.

That's one of the several reasons I didn't book.

Will he perform the classic 'Remember The Mime'?

He hasn't done a fully live concert since the Bad Tour in the late 80s.

I think with the very nature of the concerts, coupled with the size of the arena and distance the crowd will be from the stage it's entirely feasible that he won't even physically be on stage for the entire show anyway.
It won't exactly be a stretch to hire a dancer with a similar physical build and make him over to be a stand in - you'd never tell the difference from a distance. Then I would imagine you'll get quite a few video retrospectives of his career. All giving him ample time to be off stage and resting. Two hour show, i'd wager he'd only physically be on stage for about a quarter of that. |

If they got Michael, Britney and a few others together they could stage a huge all-day charity concert.

I reckon it's best he mimes otherwise you'll hear a load of wimpering and strange noises.

in his previous tours he only mimed 1 or 2 tracks that were very difficult to sing live / hit notes. The rest was live.

Akon, the man who molested a 14 year old girl on stage and then threw a 15 year old boy offstage, says something may happen but he doesn't know.

Good grief. And people pay to see this? Mind you, her voice is awful when recorded, and cleaned up, so goodness knows what it is like for real.

Try www.google.com it was reported in the news at the time, there was also a counselling line set up for young women as well.

Found the briefest snippet about a suicide line, but nothing about anyone actually doing the deed, hence me asking for a link.

but then I wouldn't even be surprised if she still mimes to a "live" recording that's been polished up with a bit of auto-tune. |

I doubt there will be concerts. He's already pushed the back. Isn't this his schtik, anyway now? He's been sued countless times in the States for promising things, taking the money, and then pulling out (i believe).
How can anyone in their right mind look at him and think he's physically capable of moonwalking around the stage for hours, with or without the aid of an oxygen tent? Look at him! He's the cryptkeeper walking, he appears to have been dead for 200 years. |
