It was planned that it will begin on July 13, 2009 with ten concerts in the London The O 2 arena , and will end on March 6, 2010 . But less than three weeks before the premiere, June 25, Michael Jackson died in Los Angeles .
The announcement of the tour was made personally by Jackson on March 5, 2009 at a press conference in The O 2 arena. It was about 10 concerts in London, but subsequently the demand for tickets was so high that I had to plan dozens of additional performances. More than a million Jackson fans could see the artist performing. [1] [2] [3]
In the same place, Jackson announced that it would be a tour ending his concert activity:
I just wanted to say that these concerts in London will be my last performances. When I say that “this is all”, it really means that “this is all”, the curtain rises for the last time. [four]
Original text (Russian)I just wanted to say that these will be my final show performances in London. When I say this is it, it really means this is it
The tour was organized by AEG LIVE [5] .
