Below
is a statement from Michael Jackson:
To my loyal fans and supporters,
I would like to sincerely thank
all those who have spoken out and taken action against the most recent attempt to defame me as a person and an entertainer.
My team has told me of the thousands of calls that have been made and the thousands of emails that have been sent by you,
on my behalf. I am so grateful and inspired by you all.
To my fans in the UK, I want to you to know how touched I
was to hear about the demonstration in London that took place on October 31st and the thousands of people that attended. I
am so overwhelmed by these beautiful expressions of love from my fans. Thank you.
Recently, I have been informed that
there is an event being planned for me, by the fans, to take place in New York very soon. I wanted take this opportunity to
thank these fans from the bottom of my heart for your love and support.
As always, I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH AND THANK
YOU FOR NOT BEING AFRAID TO SPEAK OUT.
God Bless,
Michael Jackson
