Entertainment Weekly highlights the upcoming “Michael Jackson’s This Is It” movie about the concert the pop star was planning before he died in June and it turns out he saw parts of it _ including his wish for a recreation of the Victoria Falls in southern Africa _ as divine inspiration.
Here’s what EW reported:
“I was ready to jump off the balcony of my office,” says Randy Phillips, president of the concert promotion firm AEG Live. “We went and met with Michael, and (director) Kenny (Ortega) said, ‘Michael, you’ve got to stop. We’ve got an incredible show, we don’t need any more vignettes.’ Michael said, ‘But Kenny, God channels this through me at night. I can’t sleep because I’m so supercharged.’ Kenny said, ‘But Michael, we have to finish. Can’t God take a vacation?’ Without missing a beat, Michael said, ‘You don’t understand – if I’m not there to receive these ideas, God might give them to Prince.'”
