Fans Go Wild in London
Yesterday afternoon, at a press conference, Michael Jackson announced his incredible return and promised that "Moonwalk is on the way back to the stage."
The singer promised that during the concerts in London this summer, he would perform his famous moonwalk dance again. Addressing his critics, he said: "I still have what it takes. I’m going to prove to everyone that they were wrong."
The 50-year-old chose Britain to announce his return. He wore a shiny black-and-silver jacket and looked very healthy. Although, as always, he was late. With a 90-minute delay, he went on stage in front of thousands of eager fans who had gathered at the O2 Arena in London for hours. He said, "I love you very much. Thank you all." Then he showed the peace sign with his fingers and began:
"This is what you were waiting for! This is what you were waiting for!"
And he had shocking news for his fans: "These will be my last concerts in London. When I say last, I mean last. I’m going to perform the songs my fans want to hear. This is the final invitation to the stage. All right?"
Before he left the stage amid the chaos and excitement he had created, he said loudly: "See you in July."
In recent months, rumors about Michael’s illness had been circulating. But backstage, there was no sign of illness. He joked with assistants and staff, laughed, and repeated how much he was enjoying the experience.
One source said: "Jackson was in an excellent condition and didn’t seem to be bothered or disorganized by all of this ceremony."
Despite the presence of many security teams around the venue, he entered the arena with only a small number of people and, certainly like many other stars, he didn’t lead a huge crowd of people behind him. His only request backstage was a veggie sandwich and bottled water.
Michael’s last major tour, the History Tour, took place in 1996 and 1997. During that tour, he held 82 concerts in 58 cities across all five continents. And his last appearance in the UK was in 2006, at the World Music Awards ceremony.
A source close to Michael says he has returned to his peak and, to start with, he is full of enthusiasm.
Last night, fans were immersed in a trance to see the Thriller star.
One of them says: "This man is a legend. The moment he steps on stage, all the problems he’s been dealing with in the past are wiped from people’s minds."
After 20 minutes of greeting guests and assistants backstage, Michael got on his bus to return to the hotel.
When Michael returned to the hotel, fans surrounded his bus, and the crowd pressure was so intense that when Michael got off the bus, they pushed him inside and then, in an impressive moment, he fell to the ground on the bus floor.
The security officer, who was anxious and flustered, circled the bus around the hotel and entered a basement parking area through a passage behind the hotel building. Michael got off the bus a second time, and this time he hit his head against the bus doors and fell flat.
Unlike the security officers who intended to block the fans, Michael asked them to let the fans stay so he could sign for more of them.
One fan says: "I was the first person to get an autograph. I’ve never seen anything like this. Tears were streaming from fans’ eyes. This is the best day of my life."
