&& The Legend Continues..Michael Jackson -"This Is It"

I think that Michael Jackson was not as appreciated for his Contributions to music && this world before he died. You truly never realize the importance of someone or something until it is gone. "This Is It"was a planned series of 50 concerts by Michael Jackson to be in London. They were scheduled to begin in July 2009 and continue through March 2010. Less than three weeks before the first show was due to begin and with all concerts being sold out, Michal died after suffering cardiac arrest.The announcement of Jackson's first 10 performances was made by the singer himself, during a press conference at The O2 arena on March 5, 2009. As many as 7,000 fans and 350 reporters awaited the singer's arrival, many donning Jackson-related clothing. The singer commented at the conference, "I just wanted to say that these will be my final show performances in London. When I say this is it, it really means this is it", adding that it was his "final curtain call".The shows, Jackson's first significant concert events since the History world Tour in 1997, had been cited as one of the year's most important musical events.This production was very costly. Coming in at a wopping 13 million, but it was all worth it because it was the King of pop, who tragically is now out of our lives. We all love && miss Michael, we hope to carry his legacy on for the many years to come. =(
