The mystery deepens!
Michael Jackson — who died Thursday after suffering an apparent cardiac arrest at his home in Los Angeles — had recently passed a physical examination required for the promoters of his upcoming 50-night stand to get insurance for the multimillion dollar production.
“He passed the physical and everything was a go,” a source told E! News.
Michael was also expected to be looked at one last time before heading to England for the shows at the O2 Arena.
The promoters of the production, AEG, had previously assured the media that they were well-insured in case the shows, which sold out in record time, could not go off as planned. They are now faced with the task of refunding somewhere in the region of $85 million in pre-sold tickets.
A spokeswoman for The Outside Organisation, which was organizing the publicity for the shows, said she had no comment at this time.
Wacko had a history of health problems and had not completed a concert tour in 12 years.
Jackson had three children — Michael Joseph Jackson Jr, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince Michael Jackson II.
Recent reports have suggested Jackson overdosed on a painkiller called Demerol, which is similar to morphine.
