Michael Jackson to cancel more concerts?

Michael Jackson may be forced to cancel more concerts as he reportedly
battles skin cancer.
The ‘Thriller’ singer – who has already had to postpone the first four dates
of his 50-night residency at London’s O2 arena – may have to undergo intense
radiotherapy treatment meaning he will not be fit to perform for the
scheduled dates in July.
A source close to Jackson – who is said to have already had potentially
fatal growths removed from his nose and arm – told Britain’s The Sun
newspaper: “Michael has a devil of a decision. The temptation is to go for
treatment which will allow him to perform.
“The last thing he wants to do is let his fans down. But it may be that
radiation is still needed. That can have nasty side effects and leave him
unable to sing.”
Although the 50-year-old star’s spokesman insists he is in great health,
doctors are apparently worried about a patch of cancerous skin on his chest.
They may be able to remove it layer by layer, meaning he would still be able
to perform, but radiotherapy would be a lot more effective.
Last week, it was revealed Jackson would kick off his concert run on July
13, five days later than originally planned.
Shows scheduled to take place on July 10, 12 and 14 have been moved to the
end of the residency in March 2010.
Randy Phillips, president of AEG Live who are promoting the tour, has
dismissed Jackson's rumoured cancer battle and stressed the delay is down to
preparations for the "massive and technically complex show".
