Michael Jackson’s parents have hired private investigators to probe the death of the pop king.

Despite a multi-agency probe mounted by US authorities, the Jacksons are clearly seeking answers of their own.

Katherine, 79, and Joe, 80, are considering wrongful death lawsuits, according to an exclusive report.

But the focus of the Jacksons’ concern appears more and more to be AEG, the tour promoter for Jackson’s last 50 concerts set to play out in the UK.

Joe maintains Jackson wanted to do ten shows only, not 50. As court hearings into Jackson’s estate unfold, Katherine’s lawyers are poring over the AEG paperwork.

They have refused to sign an agreement barring use of the contract in legal proceedings. Jackson’s personal physician, Conrad Murray, under suspicion in the manslaughter probe, was employed by AEG on £90,000 a month.

A source said: “Joe has been obsessed with AEG’s role from the start and wanted to see the contract. Joe didn’t trust them and told Michael. He is adamant he only agreed or wanted to do ten shows and was pressured into doing more.”
