Michael Jackson did NOT go back to Sony after 2002!

Mr Guest was asked about Michael's Sony relationship after 2002 since most of you insist that Michael went back to Sony and Thriller25 and albums after it was products of restored relationship. I have an upcoming blogpost about this. Here is what Mr Guest said: "Michael was misinformed about his contractual obligations. He did not fulfil the terms of the contract so Sony kept all the copyrights. The re-issues like Thriller 25 were merely repackaging. By the time Michael realised what had happened, he was unable to buy back the copyrights for a number of reasons. Chief among these was that he was heavily in debt but also Sony were not obliged to sell them to him as they considered him in breach of contract. I do not believe any deal was done with Sony upon Michael's return from Bahrain. In fact, it may well be that part of the reason he fell out with the Sheik over this very issue. The deal with Sony was concluded by Michael's estate and AEG after his death." -LYNTON GUEST
