Michael’s Ailing: Rock star Michael Jackson is suffering from throat problems and has canceled his remaining European tour dates, a spokesman said Tuesday. Epic Records spokesman Jonathan Morrish said Jackson would not be performing at his two scheduled concerts in Turkey later this week nor at the concert scheduled for Saturday in Athens. Morrish said Jackson saw a throat specialist in London who advised him to seek further treatment in Los Angeles. Jackson’s concert scheduled for Saturday night on HBO is unaffected, since it was recorded last week in Bucharest, where the singer reportedly caught a cold.
