The singer recently released a statement in which he expresses his anger towards the fact that he is supposed to do fifty shows in London, whereas the initial plan was for 10, and also mentioning that he does not believe he will be able to perform them all. Michael Jackson said: “I don’t know how I’m going to do 50 shows, I’m not a big eater – I need to put some weight on. I’m really angry with them for booking me up to do 50 shows. I only wanted to do 10, and take the tour around the world to other cities, not 50 in one place. I went to bed knowing I’d sold 10 dates, and woke up to the news I was booked to do 50.” Well, this is what happens when you’re in as big of a debt whole as Michael Jackson is… you’re basically in the promoter’s pocket. And the promoter, a reasonable entity as any other, will suck you dry of even bone’s marrow for the sake of and extra buck… or million, or so.
