As the world comes to terms with the shocking news of Michael Jackson‘s death, the finger-pointing has already started. The Jackson family lawyer Brian Oxman blames “enablers” surrounding the pop superstar for pushing him too hard in preparation for his comeback concert dates at London’s O2 Arena.
“This was something which I feared and something which I warned about. This is a case of abuse of medication, unless there is another cause that I don’t know about. This family has been trying for months and months and months to take care of Michael Jackson. The people surrounding him have been enabling him. If you think the case of Anna Nicole Smith was abuse then that is nothing in comparison to what we have been seeing in Michael Jackson’s life. Where there is smoke there is fire,” he said.
Jacko was due to commence the concerts on July 13. The thousands of fans who bought tickets through official sellers are thought to be entitled to a full refund.
