Rehearsal Footage Shows Michael in Great Shape

Roger Friedman wrote on his website that releasing Michael’s rehearsal footage for his London concerts will prove to everyone that, despite many rumors about his illness and inability, he was healthy, energetic, and in excellent condition. A few days after Michael’s death, Roger Friedman reported that AEG Live had recorded 100 hours of Michael’s rehearsals on stage, and that these films are so high-quality and interesting that they could be released as two albums. We had also shared his report with you earlier on this page. Now Roger writes: "Some people are just now publishing this news. Well, of course, publishing it late is better than never publishing it." Friedman says that this rehearsal footage could earn $100 million for Michael’s surviving family—his children. He wrote: "Maybe it can be said that this is the very film Michael always dreamed of making one day." These films, shot by AEG, were shown to the companies Sony, Fox, Paramount, and Universal on Saturday. Randy Phillips, the CEO of these companies, says: "These films show everyone Michael’s unbelievable and extraordinary condition. Michael was involved in every decision related to the concerts, and no one can say that wasn’t the case." Roger wrote: "From the beginning, we knew that he had shown two extraordinary rehearsal performances on stage over two consecutive nights before his death (Tuesday June 23 and Wednesday June 24). I think that by Christmas this year, we will see the release of this film and a collection of Michael’s songs in several CDs." It is said that perhaps on August 29 this year—Michael’s birthday—a concert in his memory will be held at O2 Arena in London, the same venue where his concerts were supposed to take place. But Friedman has reported that this plan is still under review. That’s because it is very expensive, and it requires moving all equipment and facilities from Los Angeles to London—just for one night.
