Michael Jackson was on top form as he rehearsed for O2 shows
Posted in Concert, Michael Jackson on the July 2, 2009
Photographer Kevin Mazer took some of the last pictures of Michael Jackson and said the star was on top form as he prepared for the O2 shows.
Michael died suddenly in LA on June 25 after he reportedly suffered a heart attack.
Kevin took some pictures of Michael rehearsing for the shows and said he was looking forward to the London gigs.
Kevin said: “I watched in awe. From what I saw, Michael was back - and in real style. He was amazing, happy and energetic. He performed virtually non-stop for two hours and ran through about a dozen greatest hits.
“He stopped just a couple of times to tweak arrangements and work on moves with dancers. Every track he sang sounded terrific. I honestly could not wait to see the show.”
Kevin said Michael seemed excited about returning to the stage for his London shows.
He said: “He loved going through all the props and was excited about performing Thriller with these zombie puppets. I’m very sad people won’t be able to see it.”
He added: “He was the same old Michael. At one point, he got on a cherry-picker crane and was hoisted over the audience - it was an amazing sight.”
