The Jackson 5's former publicist Arthur Phoenix claims that Michael Jackson is in no fit mental, physical or spiritual state to complete his sprawling 50 date residency at the O2 Arena.

Phoenix, who is advisor to Michael's brother Tito, says that fans with tickets to the shows shouldn't get their hopes up about Jackson making it through the shows.

He said: "I just don't see it happening. I think there were 10 shows planned and then ticket sales were overwhelming and another 40 concerts were added.

“But Michael is not mentally, physically or spiritually ready for these shows. There's something missing in his soul. He's like Mike Tyson - it's over!

"There are family members who feel the same way but they're afraid to speak," reports Contactmusic.
