I know that for the vid and photos of the 02 announcement, people on the board were saying how great Michael looked. Uhm, no? His face was gaunt. His clothing was sort of loose -- no way to tell, really, about his weight, but he surely wasn't in fit condition.
He seemed slightly better for awhile, and then started losing weight again. You're right about the HIStory tour. Michael had to put on quite a bit of extra weight to withstand performing. No WAY was he ready for the 02.
I hope Miko didn't notice and is telling the truth about that, because he's always seemed like a loyal friend to Michael. Or maybe he just wasn't really around him?
The media, and Murray, are trying to portray Michael as a druggie. That might not be true, at ALL. I think he was being poisoned! I don't buy that "six-weeks of Propofol" story, either. Michael had children. He was NOT an idiot.
