You know how mj had to undergo a physical exam before agreeing to doing the concerts? Do all artists have to do that before going on a grand scale tour or something?

Honestly i doubt it to an extent. MJ has issues, whatever they are, there are so many rumours and things that who knows with him or anyone in his family about what is true or not.

But i think others just keep themselves in constant shape to tour, i think more with female artists its tough, someone like Mariah did a huge program before the MIMI tour and was in the best shape ever, her body was toned perfectly and it had to be for what the shows were gonna show,....her body, and thats why that tour was her best, her body not the music, and yes she was thick, thats when she is best, thick and toned not like now. way too thin.

But others kind of do the same things, and your age matters too of course. But it really depends on what the performers history is.

yeah true, Janet is another good example I guess, I know she struggles to be in shape before a new album or tour.
