Rep Denies Claim Michael Jackson Needs Lung Transplant

Michael Jackson’s rep, identified as “Dr. Tohme Tohme”, is responding to a report in The Sun that a biographer for the singer is claiming that he’s battling A1AD — alpha-1 anti-trypsin deficiency, and that he needs a lung transplant. “Concerning this author’s allegations, we would hope in the future that legitimate media will not continue to be exploited by such an obvious attempt to promote this unauthorized ‘biography’,” Tohme stated. “The writer’s wild allegations concerning Mr. Jackson’s health are a total fabrication. Mr. Jackson is in fine health, and finalizing negotiations with a major entertainment company & television network for both a world tour and a series of specials and appearances.”
