Michael Jackson puts in some excessive requirements for kids choir for O2 gigs
While many stars put unreasonable demands for things like only having blue M&Ms or humidifiers for their gigs, Michael Jackson has gone a step further with his requests for the children's choir that will accompany him during his gigs at the O2 in London.
He wants a children's choir who can all do sign language...
An email seen by the Mirror also said the singer wanted "exactly equal" numbers of black, white, mixed-race and Asian children.
An insider explained: "Normally when we cast choirs for acts, it’s quite a laborious task.
"But in this case, it’s proving a near impossibility. Jacko is a perfectionist and wants it exactly right and that means every child being able to do sign language.
"Promoters are desperate to keep Jacko happy and so are pulling out all the stops to make it happen. But it’s a race against time."
The first of the (postponed) O2 Arena shows will now take place of July 13.
