Michael Jackson returns

So many things were said about him; some said he could no longer sing, while others came out with tales of his face being held by Band aids and his nose falling apart. There were also fears that he was blind in the left eye and was being transported in a wheel chair. All the gist, the tabloids and many months of speculation came to an abrupt end when the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, reportedly to be financially strapped, told the world and his fans that he is ready to moonwalk his way back to a territory he had occupied over the years.

Jackson staged a news conference at London's The O2 arena to announce that he'll be performing 10 concerts at the U.K. mega-facility. The first show will take place on July 8, 2009, with subsequent dates to be confirmed.

Wacko Jacko as he is fondly called was looking impressively better than his 50th birthday picture taken last year while on his pajamas. The picture led many to believe that the Thriller star's career as the King of Pop was gone with the wind but he is back and that is it.

To show that he was ready to set the stage rolling again, wacko, who was eccentrically dressed in a sparkling black and silver jacket, told the crowd made up of about 1000 fans that: “The Moonwalk is coming back while adding that “I've still got what it takes. I'll prove everyone wrong.” But he also made it clear that the concert might be his last.


The show which will be coming up in July may be his last curtain call but already, the anticipation towards the show is already setting records again as his concert website MichaelJacksonLive.com is struggling to cope after being inundated with hundreds of thousands of requests..

Jackson is expected to rake in £50million from the concerts and another expected $400m in sale of sale of commodities, television rights and merchandise.
