Statement to Italian Fans

“MJFC” (November 2004) (mirror) (archived mirror)

Hi everyone, this is Michael Jackson. I'm sorry I can't be with you at the celebration tonight. I would love to be with you in Italy. I hope everyone is having fun and having a good time. I wanna say hello and send my love to everyone that is there. Your support means everything to me. I love my European fans.

You are the greatest. You are my second family. I love you so much. I am so blessed to have fans like you all over the world that are so loyal to me and continue to see beyond all the negative press and the lies of people that claim to be my friends but are really out to hurt me.

I cannot defend myself against every lie that is told but I am so grateful that I have such amazing supporters that you will stand up for the truth no matter what. I hope that you all have a wonderful time tonight. Have fun, enjoy the box set (The Ultimate Collection released that year).

I am with you there in spirit and I hope to see you all soon, very soon. I love you so so much and thank you from the bottom of my heart. From Prince, Paris, Blanket and myself, we love you.

Thank you! I love you Italy. Bye bye.
