Michael Jackson the Vegas Act? 2008-06-17 by DaveyBoy EMERITUS | 16 Comments | Pop superstar Michael Jackson looks set to re-launch his career – including his brand new album, due out in early ‘09 – as a Las Vegas regular.
According to investment firm Colony Capital, the “Thriller” star (who currently owes them over US$30 million) is in discussions with the company on how to earn back the their loan, which covered the near-loss of his Californian ranch, Neverland.
Colony Capital just happens to own a series of hotels, including Las Vegas’s famous Hilton, while also being a major shareholder in the Station Casinos chain – and now they want to install the singer in either one venue for 180 performances, or create a traveling “musical extravaganza” between their venues.
According to an interview in the Wall Street Journal, Capital CEO Tom Barrack admits, “We’ve been having discussions with Mr. Jackson about a recapitalisation and refinancing of Neverland in addition to various other business opportunities and mutual interests.”
The 49-year-old star has seen his career fall by the wayside after his successful legal battle against child molestation charges, and in 2006 was forced to refinance his $213 million stake in the Beatles song catalog in order to stay solvent.

this is actually really sad
| | | I can't tell if this man is fact or fiction anymore. It just keeps getting weirder.This Message Edited On 06.17.08
| | | I'd go see this.
| | | Because the majority of the blame for why Michael is the way he is now simply does not lie with him.
| | | If small children show up at the concert, we are all doomed.
| | | it's sad because the once king of music/deeply troubled individual now is forced to gig in Las Vegas, the place where careers die.
| | | he's the biggest name in pop....ever. i think he'll be ok
| | | RIP Michael, even though your career already died about 10 years ago.
| | | he is a man of many faces, and his current one is inching closer and closer to sharing a dressing room with Burt Bacharach.
| | | lol.
| | | if Elvis could do it, so can Jacko. Elvis had talent though....
| | | you're an idiot
| | | Elvis, as well, went to Vegas to let his career die.
Oh no...
| | | I bet there are kids there thats why.
| | | how the stars fall from grace. and it's true, Jackson used to be so huge and now he is performing B grade shows in Vegas, like some celebs when they don't know that their career has ended a long time ago.
| | | One more reason why no one starts a family in Las Vegas
