Descrição:

P. 171: At 5:54am, while Murray was reportedly trying to placate Jackson, he received an email on his iPhone from Bob Taylor of Robertson Taylor Insurance Brokers in London. […]

This email […] followed an email trail from the previous evening concerning the matter of the cancellation insurance policy for AEG Live regarding the O2 concerts. In order to obtain the insurance necessary (and AEG Live were looking to obtain the maximum available to them at that time, some $17.5 million in insurance cover for cancellation), the insurers were requesting access to Michael Jackson’s medical records for the past five years, as well as Jackson submitting to a new medical in London.

For the two days leading up to 25 June, AEG Live had also been emailing Murray with details of his proposed contract. […] after deciding he was happy with what he was seeing in the proposed agreement, Murray signed the contract on 24 June. Why was there a sudden desire to get the contract to Murray? Was it because AEG Live realised that, in order to get access to Jackson’s medical records, they were dependent solely on Dr Murray? They hadn’t signed the contract yet, so Murray had no guarantee of getting paid anything, and he had already worked for two months without getting a dime of the $300,000 that was owed him. So is it possible that AEG Live were holding Murray to ransom; get Jackson’s medical records and get the singer to agree to a London medical and then, and only then, will AEG Live sign the contract guaranteeing Murray the money he so desperately needed?

Of course, Michael Jackson would need to sign the contract too, but if Murray could persuade the singer to agree to releasing his medical records and undergoing the London medical, then surely Jackson would sign the contract. All it needed was for Murray to get Jackson to agree. And now, it was incumbent on Murray to do so for his own long-term financial future and for AEG Live’s insurance policy, which, with Jackson unable to convince anybody of his ability to carry out the 50 shows at O2, was becoming increasingly vital to AEG Live.

[…]

But while Murray had actually managed to get hold of Jackson’s medical records, he still hadn’t got permission from the singer to release these to AEG Live, or agreement from the singer to undergo another medical. As far as Jackson was concerned, he had already passed a medical and was refusing to undertake another one. Suddenly, Murray realised the whole tour, and consequently his own financial salvation, might hang on his ability to convince Jackson to release his medical records and undergo another examination in London at the behest of AEG Live and their insurance brokers.
