Quote from: "teine21"I don't see what's unbelievable about it. She said he had been trying to lose weight on purpose to FAIL the test he had to take. But they wouldn't let him, they passed him no matter what. He was frustrated & didn't want to do the 50 shows, he only agreed to 10. We've all heard that before. It's plausible. He probably signed up for the 10 as either a comeback or a final thing before retiring from the music biz for good. Who knows...
Ok, yes it's very plausible, and I almost sure he'd never passed the 5 hours exam we were said.
Quote from: "teine21"I am under the impression they would be Frank Dileo, Randy Phillips, KO, AEG, etc. ALL wanted him to do this for moneyof course, that's all they wanted. They got greedy & kept adding shows, shows Michael didn't intend on doing & according to Heismypeterpan, he kept trying to tell them, let's just do the 10 shows & release it on DVD as well & then that's it. But they kept pushing & kept sending people to make him go to rehearsals.
No doubts about it...
Quote from: "teine21"He was trying to get out of doing what he didn't agree to do but they were trying to force him to do. That makes sense. He knew they weren't going to listen to him, they were forceful & so he tried losing the weight & whatever else, not knowing that they would just ignore his weight loss & pass him anyways. He becomes frustrated & desperate not to do the extra shows. So he fakes his death. It seems possible.
Now, we all have seen the pics, like the one where he is doing the fitting. He is the skinniest I have ever seen him. He looks like he had lost a lot of weight since the announcement.
Here I disagree. He was already thin in the announcements, look at his legs, please.
Quote from: "teine21"Either, he was doing it on purpose to get out of the shows & stressing over the control these people had. Or he was just dumb & they were able to drug him & make him lose the weight. Sorry but in my opinion, Michael was never dumb, so the whole he was being drugged by the doctor they did this doesn't seem likely to me.
Thing here is that we're talking about two different things:
You're saying he didn't want to do the 50 shows, just 10 so, he took the ECA tablets to loose weight and fail the tests. It just didn't work, because they let him pass the exam no matter what so, he faked his death.
In short, you're saying he planned in march 2009 to fake his death because he didn't want to tour?
I'm saying he didn't want to do the 50 shows, but since he was forced to sign in for them, he had no other choice.
He already in the O2 announcement was very thin, and to be honest he didn't look phisically in shape at all as to confront 50 shows.
Since he had no choice more than do the shows, but he was not in shape (agreed, they'd let him pass the tests no matter what) he would need something to help him carry out with these rehearsals and shows. Let's be realistic here, he is a 50 y/o man, almost (if not) under weight, whom had not performed in years, about to start a 50 shows tour, with more than 20 performances each...
He asked Dr Murray whom gave him the ECA tablets as stimulant. As side effect he did lose weight, and he wasn't able to sleep... and you know the rest.
I don't find it that senseless.
I didn't say he is dumb, but taking ECA to lose a lot of weight is not that wise either.
Quote from: "teine21"However the "I don't like what these men are doing, I don't want to do these extra shows, I didn't agree to them, I don't like what they're trying to do to me, I'm afraid of them, I refuse to do the extra shows, if they won't cancel them then I'll make them", kind of scenario makes more sense to me. I truly believe & have since the beginning, that people were trying to make these shows happen, strictly for the money & only the money. They talked Michael into them & got him on board. He wanted to do them (the 10 shows) because he wanted his kids to be able to enjoy them & he missed performing. However, once he realized that these people were only after the money & they kept adding on without his consent, he had second thoughts. I'm not saying Heismypeterpan is 100% credible, but what she is saying is believable in my opinion.
Again agree.
Of course, I'm just gessing and exploring all possibles scenarios...
