Not another O2 Michael Jackson lawsuit blog post
As a pop culture heavy consumer that grew up in the 80s and 90s, I was part of the large contingent of people touched by the death of Michael Jackson. As an artist and an art critic myself, it is always sad to hear about the loss of a creative mind, especially a relevant one. But what really got me down and even troubled some of my sleep was to think about the financial implications of the occurred on the whole machine built around what would be his last sequence of shows, the "This is It" residency at the London O2 Arena. I remember turning to a member of my creative team and saying, with heavy breathing and a grave voice: "Oh my God. It's gonna be a legal and financial mess. Who's gonna pay for it?"
