Here are some new pics care of MJNI and Omanforum.com

Is it just me or does Michael kind of look out of it or tired?
I know on LWMJ..Bashit made it seem like Michael never sleeps.
It could also just be a bad pose in a picture. I've taken pictures where if people I didn't know saw me, they would go, "Jason, were you tired that day? Were you on drugs? What is your deal in that pic?" LOL

I'd just like some thoughts..but these are about as new as the pics come - I believe.

I was shocked by those. Although they were taken on the day he found it Bill Bray had died.

Poor Mike
Bill Bray was so close to him - or it seemed. And they looked like such good friends in the pictures they took together.

He looks soo sad, his eyes tell a story within his lost soul.

[grandpashortyvoice]get some sleep, son!!![/grandpashortyvoice]

damn...

I think he's sad from Mr. Bill Bray's death. It'll be okay Michael...

okay...who's bill bray, and what was the link between him and michael?

Bill Bray was his head of security from the J5 days all the way up to the HIStory era when he retired.





He's briefly in the Private Home Movies special when Michael is faffing about around 1983-84 saying "Salvation Army tomorrow, Bill"

oh, okay....wow, he worked for michael that long? amazing...and yeah, i'd bet that's why he does look pretty sad there.

holy shit, mike looks worse in those pics than he has for a while. poor guy. feel better soon, MJ cos we love u!!!!

The only pros I can find are...

His cool shirt

His shades

And he looks tall..which is good

His weight looks alright.

I just hope he is okay. I want him to be happy so much. I think he deserves to be happy. I hope he is one day, if he isn't already.

Poor Mike

mercy....what the hell is that? he looks AWFUL!

what's it going to take to ge that guy to get down to earth? you can see he still is on some other planet.

dreadful....just dreadful.

you know, i truly believe the kind of person you are on the inside is reflected in how you look on the outside. that said, maybe he was just ill at the time of the photo?

He looks like he's sick of being obligated to have his damn photo taken in front of a roomful of strangers.

Sorry, but he looks terrible. So is this his career now, posing for pics with people fawning over him?

Do they have enough surgeons out there to support his habit?

lol thats cold....he better have stocked up on his wett&wild tho'


he looks a bit sick or depressed in that picture...hope he gets better soon

He does look sad and tired.

yeah.

Bill Bray worked for him even in the Jackson 5 era. Here´s what Mike said abot him in Moonwalk.

Later when we returned to the hotel, Bill Bray, who has headed my security team since I was a child, just shook his head and laughed as we recounted our adventures.Bill is very careful and immensely professional in his job, but he doesn't worry about things after the fact. He travels with me everywhere and occasionally he's my only companion on short trips. I can't imagine life without Bill; he's warm and funny and absolutely in love with life. He's a great man

Oh damn, he looks awful. I 'hope' it is because of the death of Bill. One day he looks better than ever the next he is this ghost again.

I think you might have been a bit sarcastic but I seriously think you are right.

I mean I don't care how nice the people are, it would probably get old after doing it day after day...

I wonder if one day he will just explode and tell all the people around him to back off and let him be. The phrase from Partyman comes to mind "Ladies and Gentlemen..No pictures please."

mynameisnotsusan said:

One is never compltely obligated. One always has the opportunity to say no to a photo if it's not a paparazzi attack or red carpet photo op. Besides, who is to say that he doesn't know some of the people in this photograph intimately?

Ottensen said:

Yes, but since an old friend of him died, I can really see him not having the strength to say 'no'.

jasonstar said:

Maybe he's just back from trying to molest children at a Hitler Youth rally. All that running around combined with knocking back Jesus Juice can really drain a guy.

Ace said:

Lawd...

maybe Ace's mum got molested

thats why he thinks that

He looks like a drug addict. Sad. "Omg it's just a bad photo!!1!" I don't think anything can be done to make him look good anymore.

jasonstar said:

Hmm, sorry I don't have a link to back this up, but I recall reading earlier this year about how Bill Bray was at home and in bad shape due to numerous ailments, obviously terminally ill, but that he hadn't been contacted by Michael or any of the Jacksons, despite his many years of devoted service. I see MJ's "official comment" is very brief and only mentions the days when Bray worked for him, no mention of having any contact with him more recently. Comments?
