Could Jacko Make Live 8 Comeback?
Michael Jackson is being lined up for a sensational comeback at next month's Live 8 gig.
 If I was Michael Jackson's handler, I'd wear elbow-length rubber gloves and possibly a body condom...
No, that's not what I was gonna say...
To rebuild his career, he'll have to seek out all the feel-good charity things he can find. He's home free with his acquittal — unless his next victim dies in his bed with witnesses present he'll never be in court again, but the wider jury of the public's convicted him. He has to ride out the attention span thing, and that means joining the do-good set to increase the number of people who don't view him as just another perv who got off. There are so many who just have to believe... |
The King Of Pop has been tentatively invited to appear at the Philadelphia or London gig by organisers, after he was acquitted of child abuse allegations on Monday. Live 8 promoter Harvey Goldsmith says he would consider adding him to the line-up for the July 2 event - but questioned whether he was ready to perform yet. Jacko walked clear from court in Santa Maria looking frail, but he is still believed to want to relaunch his career as soon as possible.
| If he's actually got back problems, rather than simply having been on the verge of a nervous breakdown, he's not gonna be doing a lot of dancing... |
Interviewed on radio station Capital FM, Goldsmith said: "Obviously we'd consider it." He added: "Whether it's appropriate or not is another issue, whether he's in a fit state to work is another issue, whether he can work is another issue and whether he can work live is another issue." Jacko's close friend Stevie Wonder, who was listed as a potential character witness, is on the bill. The gig is being hosted by Will Smith and the line-up includes 50 Cent, P Diddy, Bon Jovi and the British band Kaiser Chiefs. Jackson co-wrote the 1985 song We Are The World, the US answer to Band Aid's Do They Know It's Christmas? | Well, there were complaints that the Live 8 concert didn't have enough black entertainers. Oh, wait...... |
