So the King of Pop is no more. Yes, Michael Jackson has died at the age of 50. Many people will be very sad today, not least those who may not get their money back for tickets they bought for the UK gigs. But what is the real story here? I am starting to hear the rumours already…
He was under a lot of pressure over these gigs, he had huge debts and was basically in big trouble. But what to do? Go ahead with a punishing tour and hope that all will come good? …Or appear to die? He had to have a four hour medical checkup to get insurance for the tour and was given a clean bill of health. What’s that all about then?
I put it to you that the King of Pop is living on an island in the Pacific – a very special island. This is the island where the wealthy, famous and infamous go when they want to disappear.
Quite an interesting place to visit, if only we could find it. Richie Edwards from the Manic Street Preachers is there, living two doors down from Elvis. The Bin Ladens run a little kebab empire on the island, and Marc Bolan organises whist drives in the Town Hall. They have welcomed their new arrival with open arms and are already building a small stage for him to perform on.
