Well, it seems as if the fake Michael Jackson photographs in GQ magazine’s May 2006 issue has drawn the attention of not only various news sites, but also the King of Pop himself. Today, Jackson’s spokesperson, Raymone Bain, released a statement concerning the photographs:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 5, 2006 PHOTOGRAPHS OF MICHAEL JACKSON ARE A HOAX Washington, D.C. In response to numerous inquiries, photographs which appear to be images of Michael Jackson in the May 2006 issue of GQ Magazine are not authentic. Mr. Jackson has neither posed for, or provided photographs of himself to GQ Magazine. The person in these photographs is an imposter. Mr. Jackson is furious that his image has been used in such a misleading way, and is demanding an apology from the editors of GQ, and its publisher, Conde Nast. Mr. Jackson is also demanding that the magazines be pulled from newsstands. ### Source: Raymone Bain
