In the wake of Jackson’s death, it was reported that the singer would be too ‘frail’ and too ‘skinny’ to perform at his pre-planned 50 shows in London.
The Sun reported that doctors said Wacko was 20lb underweight and needed to bulk up before his 50-date run of performances, which would have include his famous dance routines.
The 50-year-old King Of Pop was also battling an old back injury, taking antibiotics for a skin infection and wearing a mask when he goes out to keep bugs at bay.
He didn’t put across the most perfect of heath.
The Sun quote a source as saying: “There are concerns Michael is too frail. He has been ordered to eat more but he refuses to and eats like a bird.”
His shows, which were a sell out and were set to start in July of this year, were to be Jackson’s massive comeback that he so badly needed. And his beloved animals and children were set to make a grand appearance on stage with him as part of his show to the world that ‘he was back’.
