Jacko's wacko tour demands

by Daily Gossip Jun 10th 2009 2:25AM

A list of Michael Jackson's bizarre backstage demands has been revealed ahead of his summer tour.

The Mirror reveals that the star has thrown his comeback tour into chaos with his unreasonable diva demands.

On the list of things Jacko must have are a racially diverse mix of choir children (who can all do sign language) and a selection of drummers (none of whom can have a beard).

Jackson's weird request has been sent to casting agents ahead of the King of Pop's 50-date residency at London's O2, which starts in July.

While the superstar wants every child on the tour to be able to communicate in sign language, he also insists the child singers must be made up of "exactly equal" numbers of black, white, mixed-race and Asian kids.

But perhaps most bizarrely, Jacko is also recruiting for six beardless drummers.

The email seen by The Mirror clearly states the freshly shaven musicians must be "young adults, clean-cut and of mixed ethnicity."

A source close to Jacko's tour promoters told The Mirror his demands were a "logistical nightmare".

so lisa do u really think he abused all those children and managed to stay out of prison,or do u think his money kept him out of prison.I still stick to it and say anyone can say they were abused but until the accused is found guilty i believe in innocence.everyone has there opinion,but i think he (was)one of the greatest pop stars ever.Only think he turned weird since surgery

im sorry but to all you people leaving comments saying the he is a "peado" or whatever, i think that you are all forgetting the he was found NOT guilty, maybe people should stop concentrating on what is the greatest pop legend and start focusing all their negative attention on the sick individuals out there that are found guilty of abusing children! as the old saying goes..."innocent until proven guilty!"

So he was found not guilty by an American jury...so was O J Simpson...money talks in the States and verdicts have little to do with the truth. He admitted to sleeping with children and that makes him a paedophile in anyone's book.

Yes, go and see Bruce Springsteen. I've seen him solo acoustic and with the E Street Band. He's one great troubadour but his shows are better with the E Streeters. Either way he's terrific. Bruce really rocks. See him live - you're in for a treat. Keep cool.

True...Jacko has been found not guilty. Don't most choirs have young adults and kids in them? So what's the problem?
Remember Jacko was a CHILD star...now he's giving other kids a chance. By having a balanced, equally diverse choir; surely he's sending another message about balance and fair play among the young. Talking about logistical nightmare! The organisers are making loads of cash... stop complaining and get on with your job!

Also as the old saying goes "it pays to have money" He paid he's way to become "innocent" Feel sorry for the innocent children that came into contact with Mr plastic fantastic

Paedos are the pits of society and should NEVER be given celebrity status.

"Not Guilty"!!!. Easy when you have the cash.
Have you forgot the out of court settlement for a civil lawsuit brought by a 14 boy for sexual abuse. $20 million of not guilty....plus clauses banning the child from discussing the case.(1994). As for giving other children a chance, ask Macaulay Culkin to see if he enjoyed Mr Jacksons full attention. The question is would you leave YOUR child or relative in his care, Even for one day....
