January 9, 1382 (2004) - Stuart Backerman Is No Longer Michael’s Spokesperson

According to the Associated Press, Michael’s official spokesperson was removed from his position on Monday due to “strategic differences” with other members of Michael Jackson’s team in dealing with the recent accusations. In a conversation with Reuters, he said, “The only thing I can say is that I love Michael Jackson and his fans.” He said that he currently has no specific plans for the future and does not know who will take his place as spokesperson for the 45-year-old singer.
