Statement from Marcel Avram "Mr. Kevin Jacobsen is one of seven top promoters
in Australia. We, as the worldwide producers of Michael Jackson's live events
and concerts including the upcoming Millennium shows in Sydney/Australia and
Honolulu/Hawaii, have been in negociation with several promoters in Australia,
one of them being Kevin Jacobsen. As it looks, Kevin Jacobsen might not be involved
in the making of the Millennium shows. However the question of which promoter
will have the honor to present Michael Jackson is our decision. We also have
to mention that on the last Michael Jackson eleven days sold-out Australian
and New-Zealand Tour in 1996, Mr Jacobsen was not involved either in the promotion
of the event. At present time, everything looks positive." Marcel Avram, Mama
