In November 2007, Access Hollywood reported that Michael had entered rehab, dealing with depression.

As his mother, I couldn’t be more proud of him. The press and public have always been kind and gracious in the past and I know they will continue to respect our privacy during this time.”
Access has confirmed that Marie and brother Donny’s Las Vegas show tonight has been cancelled.
