Michael Jackson’s Brother Says Jackie Is Talking About Cirque du Soleil’s Michael-Inspired Tour

Michael Jackson’s older brother, Jackie, says he’s confident his brother is pleased with Cirque du Soleil’s production of shows inspired by his songs and dance.

"He’s definitely aware of what’s going on. He’ll live on in everyone’s minds. He’ll live on." "(If he were here) he would be happy to watch activities shaped by his legacy, and he would love them. He spent his whole life loving business and entertainment. He loved the glitz of Las Vegas. He loved Cirque du Soleil, and he watched every show they produced." "I still remember the first Cirque du Soleil show. He called and said, ‘Jackie, you have to see this show.’ We watched it together, and after that he became a permanent customer. He loved every member of the Cirque du Soleil family and truly wanted to be part of them. And now, with these shows (an endless tour), he’s part of them. These shows bring his dream to life, and I’m sure he knows about it. He’s proud of these shows and he’s happy."

But it’s not only Cirque du Soleil that draws inspiration from Michael. Five weeks from now, Jackie’s leather jackets will go on sale on Amazon. These jackets are inspired by Michael’s outfits and will be available starting December 3 this year—before the Cirque du Soleil shows titled Michael Jackson: The Immortal Tour begin.

The manager of Mandalay Bay, the hotel hosting Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas, says:

"Our reputation has spread around the world. We’re the best at delivering food and shows. We’re ready for this new event, and we believe in its success. We know Michael Jackson will live on forever at Mandalay Bay."

"Michael Jackson is a unique category. During his lifetime, he achieved success that can’t be defined by any specific type or format. In terms of music, dance, his mysterious style and aura, he’s an international icon across the world."

"The world has lost a unique source of entertainment, but through the window that Cirque du Soleil opens, Michael’s art will live on for years—before the eyes of new audiences—in fresh, innovative, and creative ways. This is a valuable gift for all of us. At Mandalay Bay, we can’t wait to welcome the world."
