Michael Jackson devastated after Prince snubs tour offer

“King Of Pop” Michael Jackson, has reportedly been left “devastated” after fellow pop superstar “Prince” snubbed an invitation to join him on tour.

The “Billie Jean” star apparently asked Prince to perform with him on a planned comeback tour, but with the soul star already committed to his 21 shows in London later this year, he declined the offer.

A source told British tabloid newspaper ‘The Sun’:

“Michael seemed pretty gutted about it. He said he’s approached Prince to see if he would like to work together. But Prince wasn’t interested in gigging with him. “There would be so much hype surrounding (his) first gig, it would end up turning into the Michael Jackson show.”

“Prince had his own plans. He is a legend in his own right. He doesn’t need to be supported by anyone.”

This story is a load of rubbish,MJ doesn’t need that little guy.
AJAXN
when exactly is this tour suppose to be? Are they saying Mj is in the process of planing a tour, or is this about information which has come to light on a joint tour that never was?

That’s not true . michael need nobody to join with him on tour . michael had inspired most of the singers expecially in pop .Go to the hell with your garbages.

This story has surfaced on a regular basis for almost 10 years and it is not true. “Insiders” do not speak to the media, if it doesn’t come from his spokesperson it ‘aint true.
Michael does not need Prince or vice versa and Michael’s fans don’t want him sharing the stage with anyone else.

Mike, you’re gonna’ have to face the facts that you may have to go back to square one! Quit trying to make a big impression and just put on a simple show! You’re gonna’ have to downsize man for you can no longer be the hero of the kids of today! They’ve got their own heros and you’ve just been around to long for them to relate to. You need to make music for your fan base in YOUR AGE RANGE for you’re older than me Mike by ten years, and people who grew up listening to you. You’ve got nothing to prove and you’ve had a good run, but your days as king of the hill are over. You’ll always be king to your fans but now it’s time for the Usher’s, Bobby Valentinos, the Robin Thickes of the world to take over. There’s a place for you still, but not as the No.1 pop star in the world anymore. It’s time to focus on making good music and cracking the charts again. Focus on that.

I agree with some of the last commentors comments, times have changed and unless he can add some rap or ciarra compulations to his album . it will flopp fast..ask janet, she came out with her 20 year old abs showing and long weave, and ageing looks, and you see where she ended up…
micheal need to just sit down…he has nothing to top, he will always be a legend..even though, child molester, weierdo and plastic surgury project, will be attached to his resume…but he is still the king…so sit down mike…

Please don’t say you are performing with Prince, because I hate him. You can do it yourself better as always!

Michael Jackson please read: You don’t need Prince. Prince has released an album a year since his career began and he still can not top your sales record. Why lie with dogs? I know it’s easy to get turned-around and confused when the media is trying to tear you apart but you are still KING. And to all you Prince fans who claim him a genius, he is. He’s a genius for putting the wool over your eyes i.e. sponging off of everyone else musically and making you believe it was all him. At times he may have been generous enough to give credit in the liner notes but often times not. So what if he played all the instruments for the album recording. It’s a technicality. And why do you think people just vanish after they’ve worked with him. He’s a vampire. Michael Jackson plays instruments and writes music too; only, MJ is big enough to know when to hand the torch and who to hand it to. When was the last time you emulated a Prince dance move?

Both Michael & Prince have done amazing things in the music biz. The fact is that Michael is running into some $ issues and Prince is not. On paper maybe at best the two of them on tour together sounds ok, but Prince has grown into his music and Michael has not. Mike is still in neverland and can’t adjust to his life.
