Michael Jackson
 

i was reading on this and heard about it before here's the latest update , legend rumored to have possibly fatal health issues this week was the long-suffering Michael Jackson. Such rumors began when Jacko biographer Ian Halperin claimed that the King Of Pop is supposedly suffering from alpha-1 anti-trypsin deficiency, emphysema, and chronic gastrointestinal bleeding. Ian told British paper The Sun: "He needs a lung transplant, but may be too weak to go through with it. He also has emphysema and chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, which his doctors have had a lot of trouble stopping. It's the bleeding that's the most problematic part. It could kill him. He can barely speak. The vision in his left eye is 95 percent gone." Michael's brother Jermaine was cryptically quoted in the same article as saying: "He's not doing so well right now. This isn't a good time."
While this was quite depressing news considering how vivacious and vital Michael was in his Thriller prime, Jacko rep Dr. Tohme Tohme (yes, that's his actual name) quickly denied the author's story, issuing a statement Monday that the "wild allegations concerning Mr. Jackson's health are a total fabrication. Concerning this author's allegations, we would hope in the future that legitimate media will not continue to be exploited by such an obvious attempt to promote this unauthorized 'biography.'"
Michael's doctor further insisted that his client is in fact so robust that he's prepping for a career comeback, not major life-saving surgery: "Mr. Jackson is in fine health, and finalizing negotiations with a major entertainment company and television network for both a world tour and a series of specials and appearances." But considering that earlier, Jermaine-circulated rumors of a Jackson 5 reunion with Michael turned out to be untrue, we're not sure if we believe this last part of some oddly named doctor's story.

he was to come out with a new album this year but it was push back do to all the legal shit he went throw,

Does anyone really care about this jagoff anymore?

I like the music, but him as a person, guh. gah. gruh.

Agree with Graham. Nice music and excellent dancer. As a person he sucks...

BUT... as we do like MUSIC... enjoy this...

you wont regret. :)

Dr Thome Thome is obviously an evil scientist working on remaking Michal Jackson into an imortal pop-zombie, soon the harvest will begin! :eek:

I honestly don't know how to feel about this. I heard he was abused as a child, which would explain his love of all things childish like toys and amusement parks. (I think we can relate to loving our toys), but the rest of his behavior is bizarre. I'd like to know what pushed him to the extremes and I blame the family around him for letting it go on and not getting him help. I don't know whether to be angry and disgusted at him or feel sorry for him. A lot of his music is great, but honestly, I don't know what to think of the man!

Hey Frank, you're pretty much in his neighborhood. You could drop a few bombs over there... :p

I couldn't care less if I never heard of him or his music again. Never been a fan. :rolleyes:

Thriller still has some great songs and that video scared the crap out of me as a kid, as for his current state I don't worry about him too much.

Ditto brother!
