I haven't read this book as yet. Why did Michael agree to any of this pease? Was it bad advice or what happened? Just want some clarification as like so many others I really want to know the truth

@kindofblue21 He needed the money. At first, it was a great deal: just 10 shows that would give him plenty of $ to pay his debts. But greed was more important than his life for AEG.

3 million went to 2 Seas Records? What? Is this accurate?

[krmnarrow]

@FantageFelissa That's what Leonard Rowe states in his book. Michael was recording an album with that label but that project was finally undone. They filed a suit against Michael, that's why AEG decided to pay. Worse part is that, even though Michael only saw $2m, he had to pay AEG $5m.

Mozart's Requiem fits so well to the message in this video.....as 'This is It' is Michael's Requiem. Whoever saw the movie 'Amadeus' will remember how the mediocre composer Salieri drove Mozart into death out of jealousy of Mozart's talent. Just as AEG drove Michael into death out of greed. As sad and upsetting as the message is, thank you for sharing.

I hope one day they'll pay for what they've done to Michael. And maybe tell the truth from an insane asylum, like Salieri did.

@Nightflower51 God bless you. Thank you for you comment

I read Rowe's book too; I believe Michael's signature was forged on this contract or else a signature stamp was used. Dennis Hawk was attorney for Tohme, Michael's manager, notices under the contract were to be sent to Hawk and Tohme, NO NOTICES FOR MICHAEL HIMSELF. Get the meaning? Michael would never have known anything? All this time, and no investigation of Hawk or Tohme? Yet Tohme has a claim for wages in Michael's estate? Something's rotten here.

@krmnarrow Thanks very much for the info. I will check out the links you sent to me. I do agree, greed and jealously are what damaged Michael's career and life. It's all so sad.

Two Seas Records is owned by Sheik Abdulla Khalifa of Bahrain. Jermaine Jackson had nothing to do with Two Seas. Michael was sued by Sheik Abdulla for supposedly breaking a contract he had with him to record in Bahrain. The day before the case was due to go to court in London it was settled out of court.

Two Seas Records, who was to get millions out of Michael's first advance, Two Seas Records was set up by Jermaine J., who bailed, his usual method of operation, leaving Michael on the hook. Michael never knew what hit him with all these sleazoid types around him and his family didn't give a rat's ass about doing anything. Now they all claim "intervention". Yeah, when they wanted him to tour with them, and they say he was an addict. They would tour with an "addict".?

@Nightflower51 Yes, I thought the same thing about Mozart and Michael's fate. I love them both SO much...

[isabella23121961]

I read the book and this is a clear explanation, thank you.

Lovely Requiem byAmadeus Mozart...

RIP dear Michael
