MORE CLAIMS ON JACKSON ESTATE
Four more creditors are going after Michael Jackson's estate, days after his dermatologist presented a bill for nearly $50,000.
Leonard Rowe, who claims he signed a deal with the King of Pop in March to “oversee and supervise his finances and the shows at the 02 Concert Hall in London,” has filed a creditor's claim for $51,218.
In court papers he claims he spent the money on expenses including hotels, car rental, air travel and food.
Filmmaker John Landis, who wrote and directed Jackson's breakthrough Thriller video in 1983, claims the singer owed him more than $40,000 for a deal he made for a Broadway musical version of Thriller.
Landis, whose films include Animal House and An American Werewolf in London, had sued Jackson for breach of contract over the deal in January, five months before he died, aged 50.
The company which hired Landis for Thriller, Levitsky Productions has also filed legal documents, saying they are owned more than $1 million in profits from the video they have not been paid for more than four years.
And George Folsey Jr, who produced Thriller and a documentary about it, also wants more than US$1 million, claiming Jackson owed him a cut of merchandise connected to the video, including games, toys, comic books and CDs.
Jackson's dermatologist Dr Arnold Klein earlier presented his bill of $48,522.89 for treatments over the last three months of the singer's life.
