It's just attention-seeking, nothing more.
If you want to be prety sure that everyone is going to stare at you, what better way than to go out being pushed in a wheelchair with a mask, surrounded by eight minders.
The simple truth is, if MJ had walked alone down the street, he may have got the odd glance, but nothing like the attention that this has gained - and the notion that no-one really cares anymore is something MJ cannot live with.
It is perfectly possible to be a famous musician and walk down the street, or eat in a restaurant - I know, I have done both eith enough famous musicians to know.
It depends - do you want a life, or do you want to pretgend that the world findsd you facinating, so you can pretend to hide and be windswept and interesting?
It's obvious where MJ's head is at - where it has been for the last how ever long - up his narow and unaturally white bottom!
