These are some of the last pictures of Michael Jackson – apparently taken at his rehearsal on June 23 by a photographer who has taken pictures of him since the Victory tour in the 80’s. He says Michael was BACK and ready for the upcoming shows… Looks like the same ol’ Michael.
The one in the wheelchair is fairly recent as well… not a pretty sight.
There’s also word coming out that even close friends didn’t think the 50 concerts were ever going to happen – I kind of feel bad now because I kept saying I didn’t think it would ever happen… he’s pulled out of so many things over the last several years. He just wasn’t the same guy anymore… Based on these pictures it looks like he was having fun, but we’ll never know what was really going on. He apparently got a $40 million advance for agreeing to do the shows! What a mess, and I feel bad for all the people who paid out the ass for tickets and reservations to travel to London and now there’s going to be a big insurance issue when it comes to getting their cash back.
I don’t know how to feel about the whole thing… I’ve seen pictures of him with friends and his children, and his family is so distraught, but in the back of my mind is the “what’s wrong with sharing your bed?”
