Michael didnt knew anything. But he started to fear it could be the end. Just because of how hard tours in the past had been. He said to us many times if he will tour again someday he cant take it and it will be the end.
he was basicly coming outta retirment one lst time and didnt have the heart to tell anyone its their at the press confernce if only he had stayed retired sighand a lot of people didn't listen. one of the first things MJ said, was he was preparing to set his kids and himself for life, so he couldn't end up like James Brown. he did set himself and his kids up, but the media convinced many that that wasn't true, even though it was true. the media were jealous of his accomplishing that. and they kept pushing and pushing and pushing, and stirring up all kinds of pathetic lies.
