Jackson family fuming over “This Is It” movie
New York, Sept 18 (ANI): They might have allowed release of Michael Jackson’s ‘This Is It’ movie, but the late singer’s clan fears the movie is ‘propaganda’ for promoters trying to prove he was healthy enough to perform 50 concerts.
Joe Jackson had said in July, “Michael told me himself that he agreed to 10 shows. But they went and added all these other shows. I was worried about his health.”
However, promoter AEG maintained that the Thriller hitmaker was absolutely fit.
According to the sources, Jackson family privately fear it will be edited to exonerate the concert promoters, AEG Live.
“They believe the movie only includes the best clips of Michael’s final rehearsals. He supposedly looks fit, together and excited,” the New York Post quoted a source as saying.
“The family can’t speak out because money will be paid to the trust, but privately, they fear the movie is propaganda to back AEG’s argument that Michael was healthy and wasn’t being exploited,” the source added. (ANI)
