Mohamed Fayed unveils Michael Jackson tribute

Mohamed Al-Fayed, chairman of the Cottagers and close friend of Michael Jackson, unveiled a statue of MJ outside Fulham’s Craven Cottage stadium in London this week. During his introduction he told fans of the club they could go and support another team if they did not like his tribute.

“Why is it bizarre?” Fayed told The Associated Press. “Football fans love it. If some stupid fans don’t understand and appreciate such a gift, they can go to hell. I don’t want them to be fans. If they don’t understand and don’t believe in things I believe in, they can go to Chelsea, they can go to anywhere else.”

Mohamed Al-Fayed was a friend of the pop star. Although he stated that, “People will queue to come and visit it from all over Britain and it is something that I and everybody else should be proud of” some questioned the rationale behind the billionaire’s latest move.

Fayed, 78, known for purchasing a controlling interest in the Harrods department store in 1985 and the sad death of his son, Dodi, with Diana, Princess of Wales, in August 1997, is no stranger to controversy.

This 7-foot-6 plaster and resin statue of Michael Jackson was erected outside the stadium of English Premier League soccer club Fulham.

Michael Jackson vocal coach Seth Rigg remembers the King of Pop

Seth Rigg, vocal coach to Michael Jackson, remembers the King of Pop. Seth Riggs is considered by many to be the best and most successful voice teacher in the United States. Here was a statement from Seth Rigg about Michael Jackson following his death last year.

——–

On Thursday of last week, the world wept as we all came to grips with the fact that, Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, had passed away. Anyone who has ever loved his music knows what an effect he had on our lives, our culture and our souls. He was truly a creative genius and gave his life to the perfection of his art.

I have worked closely with Michael for over 32 years, as his vocal coach and his friend. We have been through countless concerts, performances, rehearsals and tours… but nothing quite like his “This is it Tour”. We worked tirelessly, everyday, as Michael is indeed a true perfectionist. He took every measure to make sure he was prepared for the grueling tour, vocally and in all other aspects as well. It truly would have been a legendary tour.

The death of Michael Jackson had indeed come to me as a dramatic shock and I was overwhelmed with a deep sense of sadness. Not only for the late star, but also for all fans and friends, but most importantly, for his family. I not only lost an extraordinary pupil, I lost a great friend. He will be truly missed as one of the most inspirational, kind, and dedicated people to have graced us with his enormous talents.

At this time there are millions of press releases flooding us with “reports” and accusations. I stand strong that Michael Jackson was well before his tragic death and eager to begin his world-wind tour. I believe he was devoted to making the best tour for his fans that was humanly possibly, and beyond! Any other misquotes or assumptions posed to be my words are false, as this is my first and possibly only public statement regarding this matter. I believe that unless it is proven otherwise, his cause of death was accidental.

I do hope that in this time of mourning, we as a people, can focus on the immense greatness that Michael shared with the world, and not diminish his name with any negative accusations. He was a beacon of light and harmonious genius, and he should be remembered for all the treasures he left us. We are blessed to have lived in the time of, Michael Jackson.

Sincerely,

Seth riggs

Karen Faye – Michael Jackson’s makeup artist

Karen Faye had one of the most intimate and special relationship with Michael Jackson. The two spent years together both professionally and personally. Karen has been one who seems to have supported him even when many other so called ‘friends’ deserted him.

We have heard from many who would not come to his defense when he needed them but it seems this woman was not one of the many who ran for the hills but now profess their love. She has also been a voice of reason following his death on the manipulation and greed that surrounded him. Unlike many who hawk their relationship and secrets for global media coverage, her words only seem to come from social internet sites, not from book deals, ebay listings, auction item selling, or global interviews.
