引述 :『Glastonbury音樂祭籌劃人艾蜜莉Emily Eavis在週末的音樂祭甫開始則宣佈：「整個週末會有一連串向麥可傑克森的致敬動作。」，音樂祭的「推友twitter」首頁也掛著：「很難過聽到麥可身亡的消息，他是一個非常優秀的藝人、今年的音樂祭向他致敬！」，加拿大搖滾老將尼爾楊Neil Young則在音樂祭上讚揚麥克：「MJ絕對是一個深具指標的象徵性歌手！」。 』

引述 :『「I'm actually really embarrassed about the whole thing, because it was done as a joke. Then the NME got hold of it and put it as a big news feature and that's when it became like a publicity stunt. That's what it seemed like, and I was real embarrassed about it. I don't regret it, because it pissed a lot of people off and it's always fun to piss people off.」』
