Tuesday June 1, 1999 Debbie Rowe-Jackson Interview
Chuck Henry - It’s a horrible situation for any parent to be in. Hearing on the news that your child is seriously ill, even near death. But that’s the situation that Debbie Rowe-Jackson si in tonight. And the story she says is not true.
Debbie Rowe-Jackson - To hear that your child is dying, and to find out on the news, and it not be true, is terrifying. Especially when I’ve spoken to his father, and he told me he was okay.
Chuck Henry - That’s Debbie Rowe-Jackson, in an exclusive interview telling us about the bombshell that came from fame tenor Luciano Pavarotti on stage in Italy on Tuesday night at a benefit concert for the children of Bosnia. [Pavarotti’s voice telling the crowd] It was an emotional Pavarotti that told the crowd that MJ would not be performing tonight because his 2-year old song Prince was dying. In fact, Pavarotti said quote, “No one more than I would want Michael to be here, but he has a son who may be dying.” [Pavarotti’s voice again, very upset telling them] With his voice quivering, the tenor added “It would be best if we think of him and send our prayers.” Then the story got even worse. Late tonight (Tuesday) reports from the Italian news agency said that quote “The child had lost consciousness, and his legs and arms were paralyzed because of a high fever.”
Why do you think this happened?
Debbie Rowe-Jackson - I don’t know, I don’t know, but it’s mean
Chuck Henry - This is the first time we’ve seen a photograph of the entire Jackson family. Debbie Rowe-Jackson also told me tonight, that her song has been hospitalized several times this year with seizures. Seizures that doctors say are causes by sudden high fever. But the reports coming out tonight simply are not true. (Click for little larger pic, but lower quality)
Debbie Rowe-Jackson - It is terrifying, especially when I have spoken to his father, and he told me he is okay.
Chuck Henry - Perhaps you’ve seen that Jackson’s own publicist today released a statement saying that Prince did suffer a seizure, and tonight nobody is denying that. Michael Jackson is currently working in New York and he always travels with the children. Debbie Rowe-Jackson says she plans to join them soon.
