WMA's Public Relation's Person Comment's On The Night.
Earl's Court Officials Cut Jackson Short!!
The organisers of the World Music Awards said that they had "not been contacted by any of the fans or had one complaint" regarding the event.
They added that Jackson's performance had been cut short because the ceremony over-ran, breaking a noise curfew at the venue. "I was standing watching Jackson perform... and suddenly he stopped," said Julius Just, head of Public Relations for the awards. "They cut the sound on one of the greatest living artists in the world. "It's the first time anything like this has happened in 18 years of the World Music Awards."
But officials at Earl's Court denied that the sound had been cut. "We accommodated the show and the show's organisers by obtaining an extension to our licence in order to allow the show to run to eleven o'clock," said spokesman Jeremy Probert. "And as far as we're concerned, that's what the show did. As a matter of fact, I think it finished about a minute-and-a-half early," he added.
