MUSIC NEWS: MICHAEL JACKSON ANNOUNCES 10 SHOW “final curtain call”

MICHAEL JACKSON confirmed on Thursday that he will stage the series of “This Is It” gigs at the O2 Arena this Summer. But also shockingly announced he plans never to perform in London again – and hinted it could signal the end of his music career forever, describing the shows as his “final curtain call”.

Jackson said:

“I love you so much. Thank you all. This is it. This is it. I just want to say that these will be my final performances in London. This will be it. When I say ‘This Is It’ I really mean this is it. I will be performing the songs my fans want to hear. This is the final… the final curtain call, okay – and I will see you in July. I love you – I really do, you have to know that. I love you so much – really. From the bottom of my heart.” (VIEW VIDEO)

The run of ten shows will begin on July 8th and tickets, priced from $70 (£50), will go on sale next week. The concerts will be the superstar’s first major live performances since 1997.

    If you have been in the O2 Arena you’ll know how big it is and you will know where you will be sitting/standing for $70. Acoustics are beyond terrible unless you are in the good spots and you can be sure they won’t be $70..

    Michael Jackson, my son loved you since he was 3 and the first time he heard you sing and dance he got of the floor and started dancing. He became a dancer and dances to your music exactly like you. He dances in talent shows and wins first place all the time and blows the place away. His birthday is March 30th he will be 10yrs old and wants to see you and wants to be at your concert. His dream is to dance with you. People tell him he will be the next MICHAEL JACKSON. He loves Dancing that is all he ever does and his teachers want us to do something with him and we dont know what to do. Money is tight but we pray you read our email and respond. You are Daniel’s IDOL. By the way he always dresses like you the Billie Jean outfit and that is his favorite song. WE LOVE YOU MICHAEL JACKSON COME TO AMERICA PLEASE.
