The King of Pop returns

5th March 2009

An exclusive new Michael Jackson video showcasing his electric performances over the years will make a record-breaking debut on Sunday 8th March at 9:30pm on ITV. Michael Jackson will be the only artist ever to take over an entire ad break.

This comes in the wake of Michael Jackson’s announcement that he is returning to the stage for a historic ten shows at the o2 Arena, where he will perform his greatest hits for the event of the summer, the concerts of 2009 and the decade’s hottest gigs. This really is ‘It’!

Michael Jackson has not played a series of concerts since he last toured 12 years ago. These dramatic shows promise an explosive return with a band of the highest calibre, a state-of-the-art stage show and incredible surprise support acts.

"I am coming to London to play the songs my fans want to hear," claimed Michael Jackson.

Rob Hallett, President of International Touring, AEG Live, said: "We are delighted to facilitate the return of The King of Pop – long may he reign! Michael at the o2 this summer will surely be the highlight of the musical year. When Michael Jackson performs, the eyes of the world will be watching. Look out for an international flavour to the audience, as these will be his only concerts in the world this year!"
