He had just passed a physical in prep for the comeback tour in London-

Well, when he was overseas there were many reports of illness and I know when he was in Vegas he was having health issues. No he didn't have cancer like Fawcett did but he had been ill quite a bit in the last few years.

I have seen no reports that he just passed a physical, considering most of his shows were postponed until 2010.

Jeff Goldblum. Or so it is currently reported, without much detail or corroboration.

Jackson was preparing for what was to be his greatest comeback: He was scheduled for an unprecedented 50 shows at a London arena, with the first set for July 13. He was in rehearsals in Los Angeles for the concert, an extravaganza that was to capture the classic Jackson magic: showstopping dance moves, elaborate staging and throbbing dance beats.

Michael Jackson had been planning to start a series of comeback concerts in London and had been rehearsing in the Los Angeles area for the past two months. Promoters of the shows said in March that he had passed a lengthy physical examination.
