Michael Jackson Waiting For Cancer OK
Michael Jackson is said to be waiting to find out whether he requires radiotherapy to treat his alleged skin cancer.
Reports are claiming that Jackson, 50, had cancerous growths removed from his nose and chest in a shave biopsy operation in Beverly Hills on Thursday.
The ‘Billy Jean’ singer now faces a torturous wait for results to find out if the surgery was successful.
The Sun, have claimed that if the operation failed to eradicate all the diseased cells, the star will need weeks of grueling radiotherapy.
If this is the case, it is highly likely the treatment will effect his scheduled dates at London’s O2 arena.
Yesterday it was announced that Jackson is postponing the start of his ‘This Is It’ comeback shows.
The first concert of the 50-night run will now be on 13th July, five days later than initially planned.
Shows planned to take place on 10th, 12th and 14th July have been put back to March 2010.
Friends of Jackson have said he is worried sick and plans to spend the next few days praying for his health.
A source said: “It’s about waiting and praying now.”
However Randy Phillips, president of AEG Live who are the promoters behind his forthcoming residency, has strongly denied Jackson has cancer and claimed the set backs are merely due to the show being “massive and technically complex”.
He also put an end to wild rumours surrounding the stars health saying that: “Michael is not sleeping with elephants and not suffering from skin cancer” adding, “He’s in great shape. I’d trade my body for his tomorrow.”
Fans who bought tickets for the postponed shows – including hundreds who live as far away as Australia and South America – are fuming over the changes.
Ticket holders who can’t make the new dates will be given full refunds, however AEG Live refuse to offer compensation for travel and accommodation.
