Joe Jackson's Lawyer Prepares Legal Case Against Michael's Live Promoters


An attorney for MICHAEL JACKSON's father JOE is preparing to file an official complaint against concert promoters AEG, accusing company bosses of violating U.S. law by overworking the late superstar as he prepared for his ill-fated London residency.

Jackson suffered a cardiac arrest and died last June (09), just days before he was due to kick-off the mammoth This Is It series of tour dates.

His death has been ruled a homicide and the singer's medic, Dr. Conrad Murray, has pleaded not guilty to a charge of involuntary manslaughter for administering the drug that ultimately led to his demise.

But Joe Jackson wants his son's concert bosses held accountable and his lawyer, Brian Oxman, is set to lodge a complaint with the United States Attorney General, alleging AEG executives were not in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Oxman alleges AEG heads knew about the Thriller star's struggle with prescription drugs, deeming him effectively disabled, but continued to pressure Jackson to stick to a gruelling rehearsal schedule in preparation for the London shows.

Oxman is also planning to file a complaint with the Medical Board of California, claiming AEG bosses had such tight control of the singer's medical treatment, it became the unauthorised practise of medicine, reports TMZ.com.

The attorney tells the website he will lodge the complaints with the government agencies this month (Jun10), before the first anniversary of Jackson's death (25Jun10).


С две-три думи - адвокатите на Джо ще подадат официална жалба/иск срещу AEG за изтощителните репетиции, на които подложиха Майкъл, при положение, че са знаели за проблемите му.

Oх, чудя се кога ли и снимките от аутопсията ще се появят. Понякога направо откачам за това. Как не мирасяха, как все на пари им мирише.

Заради пари си отиде, заради пари ще го преследват и в отвъдното.
Има нещо тотално сбъркано в нашия вид.

Disneyland Paris Opens Michael Jackson’s “Captain E.O.”

(06/11/2010) – Paris, France – Twelve years after it closed, Michael Jackson’s 3-D space adventure/music video epic, “Captain E.O.”, is screening again at Disneyland Paris. The attraction opened today to overwhelming response from Disneyland and Michael Jackson fans, all excited to experience the musical mastery of Jackson’s “E.O.” one more time.

“Captain E.O.” is a collaboration between Walt Disney Imagineering and Michael Jackson, and is directed by Francis Ford Coppola with George Lucas receiving executive producer credit. The project was initiated by former Disney CEO Michael Eisner, who wanted to help bring something new and relevant to the struggling Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California. During the mid-1980′s, no one’s star shined brighter than Jackson’s. Himself a tremendous lifelong Disney fan (Jackson often frequented Disney Parks, and visited Disneyland in California two weeks before his death), the artist composed two original songs for the film – “We Are Here (To Save the World)” and “Another Part of Me” (the later of which appeared on 1987′s Bad.

The story of the film consists of E.O., played by Jackson, leading a troupe of space misfits on yet another dangerous mission to the nether regions of space. This particular mission involves traveling to a surreal, industrial-looking planet (think a space-junk version of Star Wars’ Death Star) and finding the Supreme Leader (Anjelica Houston) to give her the gift of music; this gift, E.O. says, will help her unlock the beauty within.

“Captain E.O.” originally opened to rave reviews at Disneyland Park and Epcot at Disney World in September 1986; it opened the following year at Tokyo Disneyland and was an opening-day attraction at the then-named Euro Disneyland (now Disneyland Paris) in 1992. By 1998, however, all the “Captain E.O.” attractions in the four Disney Parks were closed, and later replaced with the far less successful “Honey, I Shrunk the Audience”.

Due to popular demand by guests, spurred by Jackson’s untimely passing on June 25, 2009, Disneyland offered up a special engagement limited return of “Captain E.O.”; Disneyland Paris is now following suit. The show will also re-open later this summer at Epcot and Tokyo Disneyland. Although the run is limited, Disney has not announced a timeframe for the show’s closing. “Captain E.O.” is now playing in Discoveryland.
