Michael Jackson is expected to announce a live comeback tour at London 02 arena later on this month, as part of a series of summer concerts. The singer who has not toured for twelve years is due to appear at the venue this Thursday, to make a “special announcement”, a statement has said.Jackson is likely to run a spate of several gigs at the arena in the form of a residency, similarly to Prince who played for 21 nights in 2007 and Britney Spears who will play eight nights in June.
The singer last performed in 2006, at the World Music Awards in London. However, fans were disappointed as he sang only a few lines of ‘We Are the World.’ Jackson is currently in the process of selling the contents of his former home Neverland, due to financial problems, and he was cleared of child abuse four years ago. The comeback tour in London follows months of speculation and rumours over the possibility of ‘money-spinning’ shows.
