MICHAEL JACKSON - JACKO'S EX-PUBLICIST DIES

JACKO'S EX-PUBLICIST DIES

BOB JONES, a former Motown boss and MICHAEL JACKSON's longterm publicist, has died at the age of 70.
Jones worked with Jackson for 35 years, after starting out as a PR executive for the legendary Detroit, Michigan based record label.
He was fired by the star in 2005 during Jackson's trial on child molestation charges, and went on to co-author an unflattering book entitled Michael Jackson: The Man Behind the Mask.
According to reports, Jones suffered a fatal heart attack at his home after returning from a bike ride, although further details were unavailable when WENN went to press.
