Belfast Telegraph Apologise

Tuesday, 9 February 2010

“In our edition dated August 11, 2009 we published an article under the headline ‘Surely Jacko’s friends are the real Wackos’ which may have wrongly inferred that Uri Geller had turned a blind eye to Michael Jackson’s drug problems and that he had failed the late singer as a friend.

We acknowledge that Uri Geller has consistently stated that he never observed Michael Jackson take drugs and that he had supported his friend in every way practicable at the time. We are happy to make this clear and apologise to Uri Geller for any misunderstanding.”
