MICHAEL JACKSON - JACKSON PASSED MEDICAL TEST 'WITH FLYING COLOURS'

JACKSON PASSED MEDICAL TEST 'WITH FLYING COLOURS'

MICHAEL JACKSON underwent a gruelling five hour medical test and passed it "with flying colours", according to his comeback concert boss.
AEG Live CEO Randy Phillips has dismissed the suggestion Jackson cheated a screening process he underwent just weeks before his death - revealing tour insurers insisted on a rigorous examination, which the King of Pop breezed through.
Phillips says, "He absolutely, 100 per cent, had a close to five-hour physical. The (insurance) carriers flew in a doctor of their choice from New York and he did an extensive battery of tests. We were obviously never privy to the actual medical reports, because this was confidential medical information between the doctor and the patient. However, we were told that he passed with flying colours."
Jackson died from a cardiac arrest on 25 June (09), just weeks before the tour was due to begin.
