Rumors Surrounding This Year’s Grammys Ceremony

It has been reported that Catherine, Michael’s mother, will attend the Grammys ceremony. However, it seems that Joe, Michael’s father, has gone back on his previous decision and decided not to attend. The reason given is his anger over behind-the-scenes negotiations in which Michael’s children were selected to receive their father’s award. This decision was made just this week. After Catherine complained to the organizers of the Grammys that none of her family members had been invited, she was told that the Michael Jackson Foundation would decide who would attend the ceremony. This has upset Joe Jackson. His lawyer, Brian Oxman, asked why outsiders should interfere in family decisions. He said that Michael’s lawyers do not allow them to interfere in his affairs. In his will, Michael handed control of his business and financial matters to his lawyers. Some sources say that at first, Michael’s brothers intended to attend to receive the award, but after Prince and Paris objected, the two children of Michael were faced with the situation. Brian Oxman says the world is watching, waiting to see these two teenagers “blossom.” Source: eMJey / CNN
