Return to the scene was "very stressful" for Jackson

08:06 PM New York .- The expected return to the stage after years of absence was "very stressful" to perfection as an artist as Michael Jackson, who died Thursday at age 50 of a heart attack, said a former representative of the idol upon learning the death.

"Preparing for a show of this size was very stressful," he told AFP producer Jay Coleman, who represented the artist in the 80s, especially for spots made for Pepsi.

Like other fans of artists, tourists and curious, Coleman learned of Jackson's death at Times Square, the central plaza of New York where a giant screen live on the ad.

Many of her fans can not believe it said, others cried and just looked at the rest of the story without emotions outwardly.

Jackson was preparing his return to the stage in July with a series of concerts in London, a widely publicized return voluntarily after their confinement since he was acquitted in 2005 of charges of abuse of a minor.

According to Coleman, "the expectations of the fans were that Michael Jackson would be so great as in the past." "He was a perfectionist and engages fully in the preparation of a show, each detail was very important."

Jackson "was a very eccentric personality," says Coleman, reminiscent of the artist on their professionalism on stage exacerbated to the extreme.
