Many Michael Jackson fans are wondering why the 50th Annual Grammy Awards commenced last week without a single mention of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the World’s Best-Selling Album, Thriller. The New York Post claims Jacko missed out on a previously planned tribute because his diva demands were too excessive for Grammy producers.

The forty-nine year-old was reportedly dropped from the ceremony after he insisted a special honoree was on hand to introduce him to the stage. He also reportedly demanded a special award, which was unique to him that no one would ever receive again.

Michael even requested that the entire event was dedicated to his career with no less than thirty mentions to him as the King of Pop.
