I believe I read somewhere that John was supposedly "dead" 2 or 3 years before the gig was up. That might explain the "4 years to get it right" comment as MJ likes to break records.
The Wikipedia has a lot of information on this too. There was a statement released where it was said "Paul is still very much with us". It made me think of the memorial what Kenny Ortiz said.

Well, I can't write anymore. Too frustrated because my computer screen keeps freezing. That's why I post so little any more.
