'Diva Demands' Behind Michael Jackson Grammys No Show

A host of ‘diva demands’ were the reason why Michael Jackson failed to appear at this years Grammy Awards, it’s been reported.

Jackson had been due to appear at the ceremony in Los Angeles on February 11th to promote the re-release of ‘Thriller’ – which is celebrating its 25th anniversary.

However, according to the New York Post, organisers cancelled his appearance because he demanded to be given a special, one off award.

It’s claimed that the singer also requested a host of references to his nickname, ‘The King of Pop’, to be made throughout the event.

To date, none of the reported publicity appearances which Jackson had been expected to appear at over recent months have proved true.

As well as featuring the original album, the 25th anniversary of Jackson’s album also features new collaborations with Kanye West and Fergie.

This story was started by a notorious anti Jackson ’reporter’, who regularly starts untrue rumours, thesed gets picked up by other news outlets and turns into fact. Fans of MJ registered on authorised sites knew he had no plans to attend,this guy starts the rumour that MJ would be going, now this story is to explain Michael’s absence. For all the ugly things said about MJ, arrogant is not one of them, he is reported to be a humble, shy man. Fans are sick of these stories be
