Tribute to Jacko from AEG chief
The man who persuaded Michael Jackson to return to the stage has paid tribute to the singer.
Randy Phillips, chief executive of AEG Live, who were promoting Jackson's This Is It tour at The O2, spoke of his sadness at the shock death of the 50-year-old music icon.
He said: "Yesterday was a day I will never forget, or want to remember.
"Michael was both weak and strong, clever and kind, talented beyond belief and equally insecure. He was a doting father, respectful son, loving brother, and caring uncle.
"He was my friend. I take great solace in the pride and confidence he exhibited during production rehearsals on Wednesday night. That is the memory I will cherish for the rest of my life."
