Michael Jackson Last Video Footage
CNN acquired this short clip of Michael Jackson rehearsing last week, which is thought to be the last video footage before he died.
From reports of the last few rehearsals, they said he would arrive sometimes 2 hours late, walked in "with a spring in his step" but often had to be "helped up the stairs". Now, does that sound like someone ready to perform 50 shows? If you look at the choreography, it's not very "athletic". The steps are not much more than walk to the right, walk to the left, wave your arms, stomp you foot, etc. When there looks to be some bigger movements, the camera goes to an extreme wide shot.
I also read that the shows planned were to be mostly video and lighting effects and Michael would have only been onstage 17 minutes per show. The audiences would have felt ripped off.
Other Michael Jackson news - he will NOT be buried at Neverland. After the last trial, he said he would never set foot there again, and unfortunately, he didn't. A public funeral is scheduled for the Staples Center.
