The sudden death of Michael Jackson might trigger one of the biggest event cancellation claims in the insurance industry's history, as speculation about coverage for 50 sold-out performances scheduled by the "King of Pop" at London's O2 Arena ran rampant in the early days after his death.
Details remained sketchy early this month, with few coming forward to say they have a piece of the potentially massive exposure.
Sources within the industry have suggested that Robertson Taylor may be the lead broker on the risk. John Silcock, chief executive of the London-based firm, declined to comment on the matter.
