LOS ANGELES, Calif.
-- Michael Jackson was due to kick off his “This Is It” concert series in London tonight. The King of Pop had sold out 50 dates at the O2 arena in Britain’s capital, but now Joe Jackson and one of Michael’s former associates have come forward claiming the pop star never agreed to so many shows.
“Michael told me this himself, that he only agreed to 10 shows, but they went and added all these other shows,” Joe told ABC’s “Good Morning America” in an interview which aired Monday morning.
“I was concerned because all the shows that I’m seeing, no artist can do that many shows back to back like that. So I knew Michael couldn’t do all those shows without some rest between,” he added.
Leonard Rowe, a longtime friend of Michael’s and the man who was — for a period of time — serving as a financial advisor on the pop star’s tour dates also said to “GMA” on Monday that Michael agreed to just 10 dates.
“Michael Jackson was not ready, he was not fit. If you can call weighing about 110-115 pounds fit at 5’10”… But besides that, Michael Jackson told me himself, when he hired me, he never wanted to do 50 shows. He only agreed to do 10,” Rowe said.
But according to President & CEO of AEG Live, Randy Phillips, Michael told them Leonard had “no business relationship” with the pop star.
“Michael Jackson informed our organization that he had no formal, informal or business agreements with Leonard Rowe. We were advised that Mr. Rowe had no business relationship with Michael Jackson and were given specific instructions not to involve him with any matters concerning Michael Jackson or our relationship with him,” the executive said in a statement to Access Hollywood.
“Although Mr. Rowe made several attempts to discuss matters pertaining to our agreement with Michael Jackson, based on these instructions, I refused to enter into any conversation with him,” the statement concluded.
In related Michael Jackson news, a rep for La Toya Jackson confirmed to Access Hollywood that she did indeed sit down for a four-and-a-half hour interview with British tabloids News of the World and Mail on Sunday.
According to Caroline Graham, who interviewed La Toya for the Mail on Sunday, Michael’s older sister believed a shadowy group “murdered” the King of Pop.
La Toya Jackson believes “that her brother Michael was murdered,” Graham told Access. “She feels that he was surrounded by some very shady characters who didn’t have his best interest at heart.”
Graham also said La Toya Jackson told her that the Jackson family were distrusting of Debbie Rowe, the biological mother of Michael’s eldest children; Prince Michael I, 12; and Paris Michael Katherine, 11.
“La Toya was scathing about Debbie Rowe. She says that she’s a woman that only comes around looking for money and in fact, the children don’t even know that Debbie Rowe is their mother,” Graham recounted.

“迈克尔告诉我,他只同意10演出,但他们增加了其他所有的演出”乔在接受星期一上午播放的ABC “早安美国”节目采访时说。
“我很担心,因为所有的结果表明我所看到的,没有一个艺术家能够做这样这么多场不间断的演出。所以我知道迈克尔不能做到,在所有这些表演之间不休息”他补充说。

Rowe说“迈克尔杰克逊还没有准备好,他还不适应。如果您是110-115磅的话5尺十寸的身高就比较合适...但除此之外,迈克尔杰克逊在雇我的时候告诉我,他从来不想做50场演出。他只同意了10场”。
但是,据AEG公司总裁兼首席执行官兰迪-菲利浦斯所说,迈克尔告诉他们伦纳德与他“没有任何关系”。
“迈克尔杰克逊曾告诉我们的组织,他与雷奥纳德罗没有正式,非正式或商业协议。我们被告知罗先生与迈克尔杰克逊没有业务关系,我们还得到具体的指示,不要让他卷入任何关于迈克尔杰克逊的问题或我们与他的关系”执行官在一份声明中对“走进好莱坞”说。
“虽然罗先生提出了一些尝试来讨论有关我们与迈克尔杰克逊的协议,但根据这些指示,我拒绝与他进行任何的谈话, ”声明结束。
