you know, yall, it really doesn't matter. MJ is the one who did the concerts. MJ is the one who did the hard work. only MJ knew what he went through. what i will say, is, that, in 2001, he did a tv documentary where he just said that touring put him through HELL.
and...AEG 'said' 10 shows..which became 50, and AEG said they had big plans. if it were up to them, he WOULD be going all over the world, for at least 3 years. plus another poster had stated a quote from MJ's father where his father taught him never to show that there is anything wrong, when you are on stage. chances are, that if something WAS wrong, we would not be able to tell by looking at him. and it makes sense that all actors and other entertainers are told to put on an act, and not look like something is wrong. that's why it's called a 'show', and an 'act'. all entertainers are trained that way, as a tradition.
certainly, i recall Brittany Murphy, in her last role. there was no way for me to think that something was wrong, when i saw the snippet of her performance on screen.
