Dr Conrad Murray has returned to work after facing a charge of involuntary manslaughter relating to the death Michael Jackson.
Murray was bailed for $75,000 (£48,000) at a Los Angeles court on Monday (8th – Feb) after pleading not guilty to “unlawfully” killing Jackson.
“The cause of death was established as acute Propofol intoxication,” a statement from the coroner said, adding that the drug was “normally administered to patients having surgery in hospital”.
A cocktail of drugs – also including sedatives Midazolam and Diazepam, the painkiller Lidocaine and the stimulant Ephedrine – were detected in his body. Finally resulting in the decision that Jackson’s death was Homicide.
Originally from Grenada, Dr Murray was hired by promoters AEG Live, at Jackson’s request, as the star’s personal physician ahead of his 50-date residency in London, for the enormously anticipated “This Is It” tour.
The footage for Micheal Jackson’s unfortunately ill-fated comeback tour “This Is It” that were to be performed in London has been made into a documentary. Some of the footage has been released as part of the official trailer (shown below) to the feature length documentary. The movie will be available to the masses in cinemas on October 28th and is supposedly limited to two weeks only at the box-office. (Though i’m betting they bend when the tickets sale fly!) Tickets go on sale the day before and details are available from the official movie site. The Trailer does the job i think to both fans that need confirmation that Micheal still was at the top of is game, and to the critics that have decided that the 50 date London spectacular that we were waiting so long for was never going to happen. Micheal looks healthy and surprisingly involved in some of the choreography of the show. Make your own mind up.
Superior court judge Mitchell Beckloff has approved a three way deal between Micheal Jackson’s estate, tour/concert promoters AEG live and Columbia Pictures who are interested in making a movie of the pop stars final rehearsals.
The project, that was given a thumbs on 7th August, will be a collaboration of hundreds of hour the singers backstage rehearsals for venues in Los-Angeles and some footage of his preparations for what was intended to be his 50 date London comeback tour.
Columbia have announced that the film is scheduled to be released on 30th October and have forked out $6o million for the rights for the film. Some of the film will reportedly be in 3D, well, lets hope in doesn’t turn into another moon-walker!
