The concert promoter behind Michael Jackson‘s ill-fated “This Is It” tour has dropped its claim to collect on a $17.5 million insurance policy for the singer … after the insurance company claimed AEG hid the extent of MJ’s extensive drug and health issues.

AEG announced the move last night … claiming the company has been contemplating the decision for months and it has nothing to do with the discovery of new emails that show AEG had doubts about MJ’s health around the time the company applied for the insurance policy.
