Jacko Postpones Shows -- Blame Game Begins

Posted May 20th 2009 4:40PM by TMZ Staff

Michael JacksonYou can't say you didn't see this coming -- Michael Jackson has already postponed his first four London concerts ... and the finger pointing has already begun.

Jacko's first show has been pushed back 5 days to July 13 and the other 3 were postponed until March of 2010. On the record, concert promoters are saying it's because they need more time to set up the complex stage -- but that's not what we heard.

Sources close to the situation tell us Jacko is pushing back the dates because he's physically unable to get through an entire show.

Guess we'll have to wait until July to find out ... unless he blows off those dates too.

31. I don't see why they don't cancel the last few dates as there was only 8 dates originally on sale. That means the people who brought the original tickets are now right at the back of the queue. I'm still looking forward to it even though I'm going to have unpaid leave for the scheduled date as its in the middle of the week and not the weekend !

34. The idiocy in here astonishes me. Do you think a huge company like AEG and the O2 arena and who knows who else involved would book 50 dates at one popular venue for a guy who can't put on a show? You guys know nothing about how this works. It'd be awfully hard for a sick, cancer-ridden guy to get insured for these shows. He's not sick, he doesn't have cancer, the posponment (wow... 5 days) has nothing to do with his health, and these shows will go on as planned.

Crikes, like him or don't like him, think he's guilty or innocent, but at least use some common sense here.

41. Wacko Jacko is like a black hole, money gets sucked in and no one knows where it goes, just like that black hole the gravitational pull is so great that you cannot help but get sucked into it. Parts of this new tour look as it is a go, they have Kenny Ortega from HSM running this gig, but there is still time for WACKO JACKO to cancel at the last minute and piss everyone off.

Wait until he DIES people, the feeding frenzy on his estate and the media fiasco that will come out of it will be madness. Books and interviews from past employees trying to squeeze one last time out of JACKO will all dish out all the weirdest and darkest jacko stories. Lawyers, debt collectors and family members fighting over the tattered remains of JACKO's peter pan delusion.

42. That freak is still the same F*up he's been for the last 25 years. That the only thing he's been consistant at (except molesting children). He has broken every contract he's signed for 25 years, screwed people out of money (including his family), screwed banks and lending institutions over repayment of debts. He's ruined countless children's lives.

He is a complete and total F*up. Always has been, always will be.
