MOSCOW, June 30 (RIA Novosti) - Fans of Michael
Jackson can get full refunds for the pop star's 50 concerts in
London cancelled after his death last week, his Los
Angeles-based promoter AEG Live has announced.
Jackson, the 50-year-old King of Pop who spent more than
four decades in the public spotlight, died on June 26 of a
heart attack just weeks before he was to launch a series of
comeback concerts in London.
"AEG Live (UK) Ltd, concert promoters, announced that full
refunds will be available to fans who purchased tickets through
authorized agents for any of the 50 Michael Jackson 'This Is
It' concerts which were to take place at The O2 Arena in
London," the company said Monday in a press release on its web
site.
Fans reportedly spent more than $90 million on tickets,
which were priced between $82 and $124. The first concert was
scheduled for July 13.
The company also said that die-hard fans "will have the
option to be sent the actual tickets they would have received
to attend the shows in lieu of the full refunds which are being
offered."
