Michael Jackson makes bizzare requests for tour
Michael Jackson has reportedly asked for some particular additions to his upcoming shows at the London O2 Arena.
In an email sent to the concerts promoter AEG, Michael Jackson has asked for a children’s choir, with exactly equal numbers of white, black, Asian and mixed-race children, all capable of doing sign language.
It is also claimed that in the email, Michael Jackson has asked for six marching snare drummers but they all had to be clean shaven.
The children’s choir and the marching snare drummers are to perform on stage for the This Is It shows.
The start of the Michael Jackson tour was pushed back from July 8 to July 13 and tickets for the July 10, 12 and 14 shows were now valid for the rescheduled dates in 2010.
The delay to the opening shows for the residency at the London O2 Arena was due to more time needed for dress rehearsals.
However, it has been suggested that the real reason behind the delay was because of Michael Jackson’s poor health.
Arthur Phoenix, former pubicist for the Jackson 5, thinks that Michael Jackson is in no physical, mental and spiritual state to last all 50 shows of the This Is It tour, and that fans with tickets should not get their hopes up.
Arthur Phoenix, who is Michael Jackson’s brother Tito’s advisor, also claims that family members share the same opinions as him but are too afraid to speak about their concerns.
The Michael Jackson tour at the London O2 Arena is currently running until March 6 2010, and Michael Jackson tickets for the This Is It tour are still available to compare at tixdaq.com
