Did Grammy Organizers Pull the Plug on Michael?
It's the 25th anniversary Michael Jackson's “Thriller,” one of the best-selling pop records of all time, so why wasn't he in the spotlight at the Grammys?
According to the New York Post, Jackson was in fact scheduled to appear at the Grammys, but his demands were larger than their budget.
He reportedly requested that someone specially introduce him, honor him with a never-before-received award and refer to him as being The King of Pop multiple times over.
According to the story, the music board finally decided to pull the plug on his appearance after they couldn't appease him.
