Michael Jackson’s siblings are still in demand for a family tour. The desiring promoter is the same guy who was suing Michael right before he died.
Patrick Alloco of AllGood Entertainment sent a letter to Jermaine Jackson this past week asking him to intervene and bring his family the deal.
Alloco, aligned with Michael’s ex-manager Tohme Tohme, told Jermaine in the Aug. 11 letter: “All that I am asking of you is to arrange for me to deal directly with the family. The ‘middle man’ model that I have been subscribing to has failed and caused me great frustration. I spoke with Dr. Tohme [not a doctor, except to friends] this afternoon and forwarded him the above contract.”
The contract to which Alloco refers offers, unsolicited, the following amounts to Jackson’s siblings: $4 million to Janet, $1.5 to each of the brothers, $500,000 to LaToya, and $250,000 to Rebbie. Alloco would pay them that to perform in 10 U.S. cities, with an option for 10 more in Europe, and a bunch of miscellaneous stops in the Far East.
Alloco decided on the family members’ individual worths. It must have been not so amusing to La Toya and Rebbie.
Alloco tells Jermaine, in the letter obtained only by this column, that he actually thinks he spoke to Michael a few days before his death and got him to agree to joining the family. He also says that Tohme’s lawyer was drawing up a contract with Michael on the morning he died. Alloco obviously thinks this might have been possible even though he filed suit againt Michael for allegedly reneging on another agreement. The man is persistent.
Alloco also tells Jermaine that he can’t find anyone honest enough to deal with in the Jackson family’s inner circle. “Each seems to have his own agenda,” Alloco writes.
He couldn’t have put it any better.

Thanks Showbiz411 for keeping up with the MJ saga.

Why is this news? The family can do whatever suits them. The fact this guy says he was dealing with Michaael on the day he died proves he’s a shiester and not worthy of print.

Promoter may want them, but this MJ fan doesn’t. I have already decided that anything J5 or sibling/father related (with exception of Janet), will not get my money.
Keep in mind, just to show support of Michael and his children… I REpurchased Michael’s entire collection (no J5), purchased large orders of merchandise from Bravado, and have pre-ordered multiple Moonwalk copies for Christmas presents and the Opus book. Anything coming from his estate I will support. I will be in line for the movie on Oct. 30th and will purchase the DVD and any accompanying CDs. I also purchased missing Janet albums from my collection.
If there was a way I could direct my money directly to his children, charities or debts, I would. Sorry. I won’t (financially) support the Jackson family. I think Michael did enough. It’s time they do it on their own now.

I totally agree with you. Refuse to buy J5 cds…only Michael solo works.
One question to Roger Friedman: why were you so mean to MJ while he was alive? I always viewed you as an MJ hater…why the turnaround, now that he is dead?

Why believe Friedman? He can’t decide how to spell Alloco and he doesn’t even have an email address listed for readers to contact him.
