Los Angeles -- Janet Jackson says her brother Michael's personal physician should permanently lose his medical license since the U.S. pop icon died in his care.
The 50-year-old singer's June 25 death was declared a homicide after a lethal level of the anesthesia propofol was found in his system. The circumstances of his death and Dr. Conrad Murray, the physician who allegedly administered the propofol shortly before Jackson died, are still under investigation.
Janet Jackson discussed Murray in an exclusive interview with ABC News set to air Wednesday.
Asked if she thinks Murray should be allowed to continue to practice medicine, Jackson replied, "Not at all."

Los Angeles -- U.S. recording artist Janet Jackson says she hasn't been able to watch television in the weeks since her brother Michael's sudden death at the age of 50.
"It will drive you crazy," Usmagazine.com quoted Jackson as telling Harper's Bazaar for its October issue. "People can have rhinoceros skin, but there's a point when something's going to hurt you. Not everyone is stone, stone. I haven't watched the news in weeks. I had to ask my chef, 'How's Obama doing?' I haven't read a newspaper. On top of that, (we've lost) a family member. ... It's really hard to believe he's passed."
The singer and actress said concentrating on her career has helped her deal with her grief.
