The King of Pop may not be singing at his much hyped concerts in London this summer according to a report in ContactMusic.
The site quote Michael Jackson collaborator Ak0n as saying that Jackson would “perform”, but may not sing.
The 50 year old pop star turns 51 this August and announced plans earlier this year for fifty concerts in London beginning in July. The concerts immediately sold out and, according to published reports, could possibly generate enough income to solve the music star’s financial troubles.
Speculating about MJ on Sonic Clash Radio in March, co-host Double G and his special guest (okay, me) mused about the concerts. Double G says, “You don’t want the first concert …word to leak out that he doesn’t have it anymore. That would be the worst thing I can’t imagine he wants anything but praise for that show.”
Always eager to find something worse, I quickly chime in, “Even more of a threat to MJ than bad reviews…is if he is found to be lip syncing…I think that’s going to destroy any hope he has for musical redemption.”
But what if a proxy, public red herring, stooge, collaborator like Akon spreads the word first that it’s a performance? The debate is taking place now in our forum. Go and be heard.
