Michael Jackson dropped from Grammy Awards



Michael Jackson was dropped from the Grammy Awards last week after making a series of ridiculous demands.

The star was due to appear on the show to mark the 25th anniversary of the biggest selling album of all time, 'Thriller', but according to the New York Post, his ridiculous demands caused him to be dropped.

He wanted an award to be created for him, and presented to him (an award that nobody will ever get again), he wanted to be introduced by a special honouree and he wanted to be referred to as "The King of Pop" at least thirty times throughout the course of the show.

Jackson, who once won eight Grammys in one night in 1984, has not won an award at the ceremony since 1996 when 'Scream' won best video.

The 25th anniversary version of 'Thriller' was released on February 11 and features remixes by will.i.am, Kanye West and Fergie, as well as a previous unreleased song from the 'Thriller' sessions.
