it is very odd that no news searches bring up anything regarding any new management :yes:
It is odd that this presser isn't on any of the wires. Even though it's the weekend it would still go out via the business/entertainment wire.
Interesting.....
Maybe MJ fired him one day after the announcement! :lol: :lol:

Official Statements : Michael Jackson Appoints New Management

Leonard Rowe, legendary promoter, to steer singer’s latest comeback
Beverly Hills, CA (March 27, 2009) – Michael Jackson, universally acclaimed as the King of Pop, today named Leonard Rowe, the legendary concert promoter from Atlanta, as his new Manager. Rowe succeeds Dr. Tohme Tohme.
“I am very pleased that Leonard has accepted my offer to manage my business affairs during this important period in my career,” stated Jackson. He added, “Leonard Rowe has been a long-time friend and business associate whose judgment I have come to trust.”
Rowe has worked closely with Michael and the Jackson Family since promoting the family’s “Off the Wall Tour” in March 1979. “For the past 30 years, I have had a great feeling of admiration for Michael and his family,” said Rowe. “We worked hard together and made history on the ‘Off the Wall Tour.’ I am grateful to Michael for this opportunity and look forward to once again working with my friend to ensure a successful and historic comeback,” stated an enthusiastic Rowe.
Rowe has been a staunch advocate for African-American rights in the concert promotion industry for the past 35 years. His landmark antitrust and civil rights litigation against nearly every concert promoter and agency in the music industry won the promoter a no-nonsense reputation for challenging the status quo. Renowned Civil Rights leader Dr. Joseph Lowery recently said, “Rowe has fought
hard to preserve the rights of both African-American promoters and artists in the music industry against rampant industry discriminatory practices.”
Rowe has dedicated his career to successfully promoting and touring hundreds of acts, including the Jacksons, Prince, R. Kelly and the late Marvin Gaye.
Who/what is DjTunes?
seems like a fansite that just copied and pasted the same info from the Champion website
I see NO mention of this, yet, on the Champion home-page. Anyone else? Until it hits the wires, I'm not not sure at all if this is genuine.
so we've been riding Michael's nuts for 13 pages with no confirmation that the intial press release is legit (official)... ???
ummm K....
if its legit we should know before Tues...
I wouldn't be jumping for joy too fast. This is the same Rowe who called Roger Friedman to announce that he wanted to get Michael's "mess of a tour" in order and that he's completely in charge. Why would he need to call Roger Friedman for that? R. Kelly also sued him and won over 3 million dollars for stealing money from his tour.
I'm not impressed at all.
