Michael Jackson, comeback concerts and choir of children

The Telegraph has heard reports that Michael Jackson has issued demands to the organizers of his comeback concerts that a choir of children will perform sign language on stage. This is just the latest in strange demands from Jacko.

Jackson has allegedly asked casting agents on behalf of promoters AEG Live that the group of children has to be made up of “exactly equal” numbers of black, white, mixed-race and Asian children. The choir has to consist of singers ranging from five to 13.

The Mirror reports that Jackson also wants a group of six marching snare drummers, they have to be young adults who are clean-shaven, also of mixed ethnicity. The concerts are due to start in July and will run until February 2010.

The concert start date had to be delayed due to Michael Jackson recieving skin cancer treatment.
