Earlier this month, Michael Jackson shot down rumors that he would perform on the ?Idol? stage this year.
“There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that Michael Jackson is going to appear on ‘American Idol,’” Jackson’s rep Raymone Bain told Access. “He has signed no agreements with anyone. Robin Leach’s story is inaccurate.”
“American Idol” executive producer Nigel Lythgoe also dispelled the rumors of an MJ appearance.
“It’s not true. It’s just not true,” Lythgoe said. “We won’t be seeing him.”
However, Lythgoe did hint that fans were in for quite a treat this year, but remained mum on who or what it might be.
“It’s the biggest thing to happen to ‘Idol’ in five years,? Lythgoe said at the time.
It appears the cat is officially out of the ?Idol? bag.
