Rumors have been circulating that the King of Pop needed a lung transplant due to a rare respiratory disease but a spokesperson was quick to deny this. Dr. Tohme Tohme, MJ’s “official and sole” spokesperson said that “Concerning this author’s allegations, we would hope in the future that legitimate media will not continue to be exploited by such an obvious attempt to promote this unauthorized biography. Mr. Jackson is in fine health and finalizing negotiations with a major entertainment company and television network for both a world tour and a series of specials and appearances.”
