It was pretty obvious that story was just a rumor. I mean, the woman, or "biographer", said that Micahael was so sick that he couldn't speak, developed emphesema (spelling?), etc. Okay...Michael has been talking, active, out and about, etc....more active than usual. Another thing, if he could barely speak and developed emphesema so bad, then how is it that he has been able to make new recordings for Thriller 25 as well as that new "Hold My Hand" single with Akon? ...don't forget, the "biographer" said that the condition(s) Michael had, he has been battling with for years. It's just another morbid tabloid-like lie. They did something similar with Patrick Swayze recently, though from a different source, saying that he was saying good-bye to his family because his cancer had spread through his entire body, and he was dying. Well, he released a statement as well saying that the story was false, and in fact, he was recovering and doing very well. I can't stand tabloid stories to begin with, but this kind of thing, being so morbid, takes it to a whole different level.
