Zuienkerke “They would Michael Jackson better honor for all the beautiful things he has done for pop music.” That is Emmanuel De Reyghere (45) from Zuienkerke, for many years the best-known Jackson impersonator in the country. Last year he stopped. “Not for the sake of misbruikverhalen, but because I was becoming too old.”

‘Leaving Neverland’, the American documentary from 2019, is tonight to see on Canvas. Therein comes the story of two men, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, to bid that, in his own words, in 1993 by world-renowned pop artist Michael Jackson at his estate, Neverland Ranch would be abused. The film is much talked about and put big question marks behind the name Michael Jackson. A number of Canadian radio stations, and the Dutch regional broadcaster, NH decided even provisionally, no plates, of Jackson more to run. The VRT returns in the sequel to ‘the note’ as the plates of the ‘King of Pop’ to be rotated.

He can counter these stories no longer defend. It is as if they were Walter Capiau back from his grave would get. Michael Jackson is his whole career geblameerd been, but was never found guilty.”

Whether the allegations are true or not true let The Reyghere in the middle. “It is invoiced at a premium rate of the purest kind. The producer of the documentary, will have to earn it, just like the two men their story. Who will their stories be expected? The turns in this story just to make money. Unfortunately.

If I have a show in each stitch, then that should be high-quality. I feel that it is physically more difficult and that is why I prefer to keep the honor to myself. I choose a quieter life.”

The 160 costumes in the closet, there remain, however, even sitting for a while. “I would like to occur on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of his death”, says Emmanuel. “In July 2019 is so far. Or I effective the costumes back from under the dust get? If I had to be a great show can join, why not?”
