Guys. You can’t see the bones in the arms of normal people.

Not necessarily. I can see the bones in Michael’s hand and his wrist in another picture. But I can see the bones in my own hand and wrist, and I’m by no means emaciated. Some people just have boney wrists, I guess. *shrug*

Having said that, I think Michael looks terrible – physically. I looks like he’s wearing clothes that carefully camoflage his very thin frame. His face in the pic above looks like it’s melting or pitted or something. I think he looks frail.

On the other hand, he also looks to be in good spirits in some of the pics, and obviously whatever his physical state, he seemed happy to be performing.

In a way, he had painted himself into a corner on his stage shows, with a style of performing that was simply not suitable for an older man in his state of declining health.

I tend to believe he still had it. We all know him as a perfectionist. I can’t imagine him risking taking centre stage again and not being 100% prepared for every single nuance of the tour (dancing, singing, showmanship). I don’t doubt that the comeback tour would have challenged the success of his previous tour. The guy never did anything half assed.

I agree 100%.

I’m really curious to know now who Michael really was. David Gest said in a recent interview that Michael didn’t speak in the child-like voice we’ve all come to know – that he had a strong, deep voice among family and friends. This man had so many layers. I’m sure the private Michael was so different fom the public persona. He’s a complete mystery to me and so many. It makes me want to know more….which is exactly what he intended.

I want him to have peace now. He never had it in life. I hope he gets it in death.

95% or more of reports about Michael Jackson have been and continue to be wrong. Unless it comes from a doctor, attorney, judge, or coronor, I don’t listen or believe any of these so-called ‘reports’ .

OK. If we simply stick to the facts, we know that he had been a junkie since at least 1993, that his concert run in London had been postponed because the show wasn’t ready, and that he had received an injection of narcotic drugs immediately prior to his death.

Fans wanted to believe that an otherwise healthy Elvis died of a heart attack, too. The only difference is that Elvis’ people tried to cover up the junkie decline and death. Jackson’s closest friends and relatives aren’t even trying to do that. Many of them have come forward to say they knew he was in very bad shape with his drug addiction.

Reports are that he only participated in 3 of the 45 rehearsals and needed medical help during one of them. Further reports are that he was planning to lipsynch the show. They had hired look-alike dancers to so some of the prodution numbers. He was performing for 13 minutes out of the show. The man had been a junkie for 20 years. He wasn’t physically capable of functioning.

Neither did Billy Mays. Heart attacks can be deceptive. Rest in peace, Mr. Jackson.

I thought Billy Mays died from a head injury. Or am I mistaken?

Well this does seem to refute the Michael was 115 lbs rumors, unless he lost an crap load or weight in two days’ ¦.seeing these make me sorta glad that he was at least doing what he loved in his final days. It would have been a helluva show.

I believe the 115 lb. rumor, as on his mug shot in 2003, he was only 120 lbs.

Matter of opinion’ ¦ I’m betting that Michael would have put on a helluva show. Dude knew how to perform.

Agreed!

I did see what Joe Jackson was trying to say but not very eloquently which was that Michael could have used that outpouring of love before he died, though Joe come on, selling out 50 concerts like he did, what more do you want? But clearly MJ’s reason for doing this besides getting out of debt was one last chance to repair his reputation, redeem himself as it were.

What was he thinking with a comeback? It would have been pathetic.
