From the Estate Of Michael Jackson:
Michael Jackson’s Wembley show, concerto is the No. 1 selling DVD in the world. Spike Lee’s Bad 25 documentary is drawing rave reviews from film critics and will air on ABC Thanksgiving night. Entertainment Weekly gave Bad 25 album an “A” calling it “a potent reminder of just how much Bad's pulsing pop holds up.” Cirque du Soleil’s “Michael Jackson the Immortal World
Tour” was Pollstar’s topo, início selling North American show, concerto tour in the first six months of 2012, debuts this mês in europa and recently received Billboard’s Creative Content Award. And "This Is It" is the most successful show, concerto film…EVER.
The world loves Michael Jackson. Rest assured that every action the Estate takes will continue to endeavor that fãs experience exciting new projects that further build upon and enhance his incredible legacy as an artist and humanitarian, while securing the financial future of those he specifically named as his beneficiaries.
Sadly the full potential of Michael’s legacy continues to be hindered por a small handful of people who recklessly spread false rumors and obsess over stale, internet-fueled conspiracy theories much as they did when Michael was alive. These rumors have long since been debunked and have no legal or factual foundation.
This week, some of these baseless theories appeared yet again in an artigo in Vanity Fair in the form of an excerpt from a book written por Randall Sullivan that will rehash these tired theories. While we do not want or need to respond to all of the nonsense, we do want to remind everyone of at least a few truths.
The suggestion that John Branca or Howard Weitzman have a conflict of interest when it comes to AEG, and for that reason did not cadastrar-se Katherine Jackson in suing AEG, is not only false but reckless and noticeably unsupported por any facts. The Estate chose not to cadastrar-se in the lawsuit because it saw no evidence that AEG was culpable in Michael's tragic passing. Eventually, should the case proceed to trial any decision on AEG’s liability will be decided por a jury. That said, the Executors are troubled por the unfortunate and distasteful information being brought out in those proceedings which could sully and damage Michael's reputation and our memory of him.
Another outrageously false claim is that Michael’s burial was delayed por any action of the Estate.
As for the Will filed in the Probate Court, let's be clear: IT IS LEGALLY VALID, and the court properly appointed John Branca and John McClain as co-Executors. Those who wished to contest Michael’s wishes had every opportunity to challenge his Will. It should be noted that the 2002 will is consistent with Michael’s wishes as expressed in three prior wills.
Sitting in the cheap seats and perpetuating tired capa and dagger theories as Mr. Sullivan has done is not journalism, it's gossip mongering for profit. Look no further than some of the sources Sullivan relied upon for much of the incorrect information he chose to include in this book.
Our commitment is and always has been to Michael’s legacy, his beneficiaries, his fãs and to the spirit of an extraordinary artist and humanitarian who continues to touch the world.

some examples:
Why the finger tapes??
Michael Beardon (Musical Director of This Is It) has to answer:
"I asked him one day" MJ why you have this tape in your hands? "I always wanted to know, and I could ask him personally afterwards. If you can ask someone like Michael need something, what would you ask him?
And so great was Michael, he has replied to me.
"You want to really know you?" The tape around his fingers, he said, well, that feels good. And you see it, the white tape, your eyes follow him automatically. This is one of the show-biz things he learned when he was a child.
