Are you serious? If "Eat It" is not in the show in any form, people will want their money back. If Michael Jackson didn't exist, Al most likely wouldn't have had a career after his debut album. I can't see the medley ending with any other song other than "Eat It".

If one of the MJ songs is going to be taken out of the show, my money's on "Fat".

Yeah, well, I'm just basically believing what Al said. It would be substantially different. A lot of people have said that about other songs that have been taken out...

I think Eat It and Fat will stay in the show in their current versions with no mention whatsoever of Jackson's death.

I agree. Never mind how tired and old they are. I think Al's stuck with them whether he likes it or not LOL

I can't see both Eat It and Fat out of the set list, but I could see how Al could be really, really tired of the Fat suit!

I also agree with what Jon said. If both songs stay in their respective positions, (medley closer & show closer), there'd be no way to mention anything without disrupting the flow of the concert.

Al has said before that he can't remove certain songs from the setlist, and I'm guessing they are in the top 2

I reckon he'll say "And this next number is called Eat It" and then change his mind and just sit there, giving everyone the finger. Same thing with Fat.
