A lawsuit filed by Michael Jackson’s mother once again places the spotlight on the pop star’s final days as it focuses not just on the doctor charged in his death but also on the concert promoter that was supposed to pay the physician.
Katherine Jackson has sued AEG Live LLC in Los Angeles Superior Court, claiming the promoter of a her son’s planned series of comeback concerts failed to provide key lifesaving equipment and adequately monitor the cardiologist hired to care for her son. The case cites numerous events that allegedly occurred in the two months prior to Jackson’s death in June 2009, including details of negotiations between AEG and Dr. Conrad Murray.
Lawyers for AEG said late Thursday that allegations in the suit are “inaccurate, unsubstantiated and meritless.”
