When MJ was a guest at the Jay Z Summer Jam show apparently he was due to walk through a corridor at the arena and his team made everyone else turn and face the wall and not to make eye contact whatsoever with him
it was only Jay Z's team who were allowed..
That's not exactly down to earth
I do find it hilarious though.
George Michael once told a story where he was invited to Hayvenhurst to discuss a possible collaboration with MJ and he never spoke to him once and made all contact through his manager , who would speak to George, despite MJ sitting right next to George.
Been quite a few stories like this.
