MICHAEL JACKSON SETS THE RECORD STRAIGHT

REGARDING RECENT RUMORS


Washington, D.C. ….. Several unsubstantiated rumors have been reported in

the media regarding Mr. Michael Jackson, all of which are erroneous and untrue.



**Mr. Jackson is not planning a concert tour with members of his family.



**Mr. Jackson has been presented numerous proposals…proposals which he has

not solicited, but were presented to him, several of which include performing

in Las Vegas. Mr. Jackson is currently reviewing and evaluating each proposal.

He does not believe that he is under any time constraint for making his decisions.

Therefore, reports that he has “been unsuccessful in finding a Las Vegas casino for

his show, resulting in his having to turn to his family” are false.



Mr. Jackson did not move to Las Vegas to shop a Vegas show. Mr. Jackson

is in Las Vegas because he likes the city, and found it a convenient location

to record with the artists, songwriters and producers who are working with

him in the studio.



Mr. Jackson has no current plans to appear or perform on “American Idol.”



Mr. Jackson did not either solicit, ask to be given, or attempt to buy tickets

to the recent NBA All-Star Game, as has been widely reported. Mr. Jackson

was invited by several owners of NBA teams, as well as players, to attend

the game as their guest. However, Mr. Jackson declined these kind invitations.

Widely spread reports that Mr. Jackson sought tickets, and was denied

his request, are completely false.



Mr. Jackson never leased property from Michael Flatly in Ireland. Therefore,

reports stating that he was “evicted” from property owned by Flatly are

erroneous and defamatory.



Mr. Jackson has not recently released or recorded a single with Pras.

From Raymone, MJ STORIES DISSEMINATED IN THE MEDIA NOT TRUE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STORIES DISSEMINATED IN THE MEDIA REGARDING MICHAEL JACKSON NOT TRUE


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Raymone K. Bain
June 27, 2007


Washington, D.C. …. There have been several news reports regarding Mr. Michael Jackson that are untrue, defamatory and malicious in nature.

Mr. Jackson is not bedridden nor on any type of medication…including painkillers. In fact, Mr. Jackson is doing very well, and conducted a meeting with his advisors yesterday, which included Former Attorney General Benjamin R. Civiletti, and Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, Sr., among others.

There was no press release issued from Mr. Jackson’s organization regarding any European tour plans. Despite reports to the contrary, Mr. Jackson is currently in the studio putting finishing touches on his music.

Mr. Jackson has not “left” Las Vegas nor is he being “evicted” from his residence in Las Vegas. He decided not to exercise the option to purchase the house. Period.

Mr. Jackson does not believe that his brother, Randy Jackson, has stolen monies from him, nor does he believe that Randy, or any of his family members, would ever steal from him. Reports regarding the same were untrue and malicious.

Contrary to published reports, Mr. Jackson is neither losing, nor is he selling his share of the ATV/Sony partnership. Reports regarding the same are ludicrous, without merit, and are being written without sufficient personal financial information to make such an unwarranted pronouncement.


-2-


Mr. Jackson is concerned that his assistant, Grace Rwaramba, is constantly being attacked by Fox News’ Roger Friedman. There have been vicious and untrue reports concerning Ms. Rwaramba, who lives a very private life and has done nothing wrong, but is being attacked for her professional relationship and proximity to Mr. Jackson.

While in his entire career, Mr. Jackson has never uttered a disparaging word to any reporter, nor has he ever used or instructed his security to use any force toward any reporter, there are those whose vehement hatred for Mr. Jackson has reached a level where all journalistic integrity has been lost, in order to write reports for which there is no substantiation, are untrue, written to create a frenzy, or used to try and destroy Mr. Jackson’s image. They know who they are; and, this is a sad commentary…a commentary which Mr. Jackson’s attorneys will address.
