Randy Phillips and Michael

A few days ago, Randy Phillips revealed more details about Michael’s summer concerts in London in an interview with Hitfix. He said: "If Michael had been willing to stay in London for two years, we could have increased the number of concerts to 200." Phillips also said that these concerts are not Michael’s final concerts—they are his last concerts in London, and he isn’t planning to step away from the stage after the London performances. In his speech on March 5 at the O2 arena in London, Michael said that in July he would hold 10 concerts in London, and these would be his last concerts in London. Some interpreted this statement to mean that he would retire from the stage after these concerts. The number of these 10 concerts increased to 50 due to unprecedented public demand, with 93% of attendees being residents of the UK. Phillips said: "Our contract includes several stages, and the stage Michael has agreed to so far is performing in London. Performing in other cities is also very likely." Phillips also revealed that Kenny Ortega—who has also been with Michael on the History tour and has Dirty Dancing and High School Musical films in his work portfolio—is collaborating with Michael on the London concert series. He said that the title “This Is It,” or “That’s it,” which newspapers unofficially use for Michael’s London concerts, was actually invented by Michael. "I told Mikey, that title is great. It’s him." And in the end, it turned out that Randy Phillips calls Michael “Mikey.” Source: eMJey / HitFix / The Daily Telegraph
