Jacko to provide children for deaf fans
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 11 June 2009
Michael Jackson is apparently assembling a choir of children who also know sign language for his upcoming O2 Dome shows, according to an email published by The Mirror.
The choir is also required to be made up of “exactly equal” numbers of black, white, mixed-race and Asian children between the ages of five and 13, as well as six snare drummers who should be “young adults, clean-cut and of mixed ethnicity”. A ‘source’ told The Mirror that finding suitable candidates at this late stage in preparations is proving to be a “logistical nightmare”, particularly as, due to pesky child labour laws, they will have to hire more than one choir.
