LONDON (AP) - Michael Jackson has announced a series of London
concerts in July.
Thursday's announcement was greeted by thousands of people at
London's O2 arena, where the concerts will be staged. Jackson
didn't specify how many shows he'll play, though posters have shown
he's booked for 10 dates.
Tickets are expected to sell quickly for the shows, despite
concerns the 50-year-old star may not be up for a return to the
spotlight.
The King of Pop has been plagued by financial, legal, and
medical woes for years and has not performed a major concert since
2001. His last studio album was released the same year.
A previous attempt to relaunch Jackson's career collapsed amid
reports of ill health and court action.
