Roger Friedman published the following article regarding the upcoming biography by Ian Halperin:
“Michael Jackson U.K. Bio Riddled With Mistakes
A coming biography of Michael Jackson, due soon and excerpted in the New York Post over the weekend, is riddled with errors.
Ian Halperin’s book will make salacious reading but is full of fiction, sources tell me. I could have told you that myself.
For one thing, Halperin’s new assertion that Jackson didn’t know what his contract with AEG Live read is nonsense.
This notion came from Jackson flippantly telling a fan a few weeks ago that he didn’t know how he’d do 50 shows, that he thought it was just 10.
As one of my best sources on the AEG matter reiterates: “The contract always called for 31 shows and MJ had agreed to add 19 more when it was obvious how great the demand was. He did not die from doing 50 shows over 9 months since he hadn’t done one yet at the time of his death. He never collapsed in rehearsal and worked long days both filming the mini-movies and rehearsing at home with Travis Payne. He wasn’t supposed to come to stage rehearsals until the entire company was ready. This is the way he has always worked.”
So there.
As well: Halperin repeats nanny Grace Rwaramba’s assertion that somehow Michael was made to rent a house for $100,000 that was only worth $25,000 — and that the Nation of Islam was somehow involved.
