When I saw videos of him at the press conference for "this is it", I did not recognize the man. They attributed the difference in his features to his "weight loss" but he did not appear significantly thinner than I had seen him before - not at all. He looked like a caricature of himself. I could not believe it was he I was looking at.
Did you notice also, during the "trailer" how LOW his voice was when he spoke? Even at the press conference he spoke in a voice that was considerably lower than I had ever heard come out of his mouth before. It all seemed surreal to me.
I think, that with today's technology and a lot of support that he could easily have faked the whole thing. I think the whole thing could have been planned and orchestrated to not only take him off the hook for the tour, but to boost his estate's income so that his debts would be taken care of. It was said that (like Elvis), he would make a lot more money NOW than when he was alive.
I believe it is infinitely possible and highly probable. I still cannot believe that the person at that news conference was him. Nobody looks that different, sounds that different, walks that different. It would be an amazing feat, but not something that he couldn't pull off. I'm sure we'll never know.

Lets say for a moment this was faked. Did he go underground to hide out like Osama BinLouden?
Where is he? What about his kids? What do you think he plans on doing with the remainder of his life,
wearing masks and having more plastic surgery to disquise his identity? He'll have to be a total recluse.
