Michael Jackson's comeback?


Well, back safe and sound from Monaco. BTW, I forgot that the VIP Room bar was actually in St. Tropez and not Monaco. (It's been a long week, I know). Anyway, since it was partly a trip on business and pleasure I did spot a curious thing while I stopped over in Nice on the promenade de anglais. Noneother than Michael Jackson's lowkey comeback gig, which explains a lot. It's been no secret that since his penchant for court appearences his status in the US is rather low-key at the moment and it's been rumoured that he has been laying low considering his options.

It's also no secret that he has some financial problems which may account for his impromtu gig by the beach in Nice, and here I have the evidence. The gig itself was small, consisting of a set that included Billie Jean, Thriller, and Black or White after which he danced to the side to get changed into some Lycra for an encore of modern performance art dance. At the time of writing I believe that you can find him appearing on the Promenade around 10.30-12, giving performances, posing for pictures and inviting members of the crowds up to dance with him. Amazing.
