New photos have emerged showing Michael Jackson in rehearsals for his comeback concerts just days before he died. The shots taken last Tuesday at the Staples Center in LA show the King of Pop prepping for his huge concerts, which were due to start later this month in London.
Although Jackson looks thin, he poses in many of his trademark dance moves for the show which was set to be one of the biggest pop concerts ever. Footage from his last rehearsals is already being compiled into a forthcoming DVD and album release. [Photos: Getty Images/CI WireImage]

death of Michael Jackson is bad for music.
Hey i just wanna say that although alot of ppl didnt like Micheal Jackson he didnt deserve to die…..
I can’t seem to stop crying…Michael’s death is a horrible tragedy that robbed the world of a gentle, loving, beautiful genius. We didn’t deserve him and I hope he is finally at peace. It fills me with sadness that all the hard work he put into the “This is It” shows were in vain…we’ll never see the King moonwalk again or hear his amazing voice. It’s fills me with sorrow that Michael left this world plagued by disgusting lies and misunderstandings…he should have gotten this praise and recognition when he was with us. You’ll be in my heart forever Michael…i love you and Thank You for being you.
I think it is so sad that he died in that fashion. He looked a lot better in these recent photos than he had in a long time. He looked like he was ready for a HUGE comeback. It’s sad we will never get a chance to see him dance one more time.
PS. No one can moonwalk like Jackson. So those celebs out there (you know who you are) don’t even try.
he look so good when he smiles he will never be forgoten its a shame he died for his cmemback he sold out tour but he up in heaven now hes free now no one cant bother him no morehe in heaven singing and dancing with the lord and all are love ones he never be forgoton hes music will live for ever he will be missed
Everyone forgets all the good he had done. My parents grew up with him, as well as i did.
He was the best
If you want to honor Michael show the video of him and his brothers on the Diana Ross show, singing stop the love you save. It’s one of there best.
Michael Jackson was one of the most amazing artists of all time i really wish he was stll here.Hes helped the world in so many ways and people seem to forget that.And those rumors that went around were not true at all they were made so people could get his money.He was just a kind gentle loving man who deserved to be treated alot better.No one can ever replace him he was one of a kind.I have watched his most popular videos at least a dozen times each and its hard to believe he is gone forever i will never get to see him perform and that makes me sad.He is an inspiration to me and he has touched my heart forever. i love you michael r.i.p

michael jackson was a very good man who america has lost i just want to say is that god bless his soul and his family most of us all loved michael i first rember him moon walking when he came on tv the first time i saw him and watching the american dream jackson 5 movie oh god poor michael we loved michael and now that he is gone som pple dont relize a special thing when you have it god bless .
I bealive Michael was a gift My proof is that if there was no Michael We are the world would not have been and the 50 million dollars it raised would not be neither so there. Rest in peace Michael your work is done. Enjoy Neverland in heaven forever. I wrote this poem in memory of M J THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL, GIVES ME BUTTERFLIES AND THIS GOOD FEELING OF KNOWING YOU ARE NOT ALONE. AS, I LOOK AT THE MAN IN THE MIRROR, I ALSO FIND THAT IM NOT THAT STRANGER IN MOSCOW. I CAN REMEMBER THE TIME WHEN I WAS BAD AND DANGEROUS. UNTIL THIS URGE TO HEAL THE WORLD BECAME SO STRONG THAT I COULD NO LONGER KEEP IT IN THE CLOSET. PARANOID AND FEELING LIKE SOMEBODIES WATCHING ME. I OFTEN CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT WE ARE THE WORLD AND IT DOEST MATTER IF YOURE BLACK OR WHITE. THAT BEING SAID, I WANT ALL NEGATIVITY TO JUST LEAVE ME ALONE OR BEAT IT. SOMETIME TO RELAX I LL WATCH A GOOD THRILLER LIKE BILLYGEAN OR SCREAM WITH MY SISTER. MANY NIGHTS, ALONE IVE SLEPT AT THE HEARTBREAK HOTEL, LIVING OFF THE WALL. WITH, THOUGHTS OF THAT LADY IN MY LIFE AND DREAMS OF ME SINGING TO HER I JUST CANT STOP LOVING YOU, WHO IS IT? WILL IT EVER BE? NOW I WANNA BE STARTING SOMETHING, WITH WHOM I DONT KNOW, AS FOR ME ILL BE THERE.WORKING DAY AND NIGHT, LEAVING THE BLOOD ON THE DANCE FLOOR. NEVER STOPPING UNTIL YOU GET ENOUGH. THEN I BEGAN TO CRY ASKING EVERYONE TO BEAT IT LEAVING THEM SPEECHLESS. MY BROTHER SINGING IN MY HEAD,CAN YOU FEEL IT? CONFUSED AND SCARED FEELING LIKE A SMOOTH CRIMINAL THIS SOFT ANGELIC VOICE IMPLIES THAT THIS IS JUST HUMAN NATURE AND ASKED ME DO YOU REMEMBER THE TIME? MY REPLY WAS ITS JUST ANNOTHER PART OF ME AND IM UNBREAKABLE!
LOVE YOU MICHAEL
THANK YOU

The music industry was here long before Wacko Jacko and it will be here long after. A very talented and creative person up until 1995 maybe. Since then, freakazoid.
It is a sad tragedy that michael is gone he will forever be remembered. His legacy will live on forever.He was a genuis, THE MOONWALKER will be in our hearts ands its ashame that people lied just to line their pockets. I was looking forward to his comeback. ROCK ON IN HEAVEN MICHAEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think that was a very unexpecting news to hear about the one and only and also the best KING of PoP, it’s also crazy how we are here one day and gone the next…
michael jackson made history by his music,art,and the dacing that made this world go crazy every time u see him on the tv. I cry alot i dont need to but it happened so qiuet that kown body was ready for it for hes in a better place now but he will never ever,ever be forgotin hes music will live on forever and never die. The reason that everbody is sad caues he was about to go and do a lot of shows the people on the tv said that he daces like he did when he was younger and thats good for a 50 year old man all my love goes to him, his family,and his kids caue i kown that is hard to have there dad die caues there mom dos not want them and thats sad.(R.I.P) love ya peacethats what michael wood have said
and love u michael and see u when i go
I just wish to say first and foremost that the world has truly lost a wonderful kindhearted,caring and giving ICON. It is with a heavy heart and a lost soul that I will never have the honor of seeing him perform in concert. The most important message here for me is that when Michael was sent to this earth,he was sent here as an angel,to show the world that love and honor can exist no matter the color of your skin. I truly believe him to have been an angel already,not only did he have the moves,voice but most importantly the heart and soul of a beautiful angel. There will never be another person born of this earth that can touch the heart of so many people as Michael did. It truly hurts my heart when I hear all the negative about him. I will only believe that that was his trials and tribulations he had to endure while here on such a hateful world. Michael I know I will meet you someday in heaven until then I will miss you everyday for the rest of my life. Rest in peace sweet angel,you are truly loved. Phobe
I still can not believe He’s gone but we waited too long to show him how much We loved him and now It’s too late.It doesn’t matter what We do now for him, He can not see!!!
My heart aches for the loss of Michael Jackson. I and my family have stood by Michael Jackson’s side always and forever. We never believed all the horrible stories the media constantly portrayed of him. He is spectacular! There is a void in my life and I will be forever saddened he is no longer here to make music! He is so beautiful and is the most kindest person. His talent cannot be copied or duplicated ever! I pray for his children and his family! If I hurt so badly, can you imagine how his family is hurting for him. I wish people would stop saying negative comments about Michael! When will everyone stop and realize he is an awesome talented person and we are left with a void in our hearts! I love Michael!
i really enjoyed his song’s ……….. they pulled me out of myself pitty
Michael Jackson was of the greatest not just for his singing but his dancing that he did there will never be another like
Rip Michael Jackson
It just hit me today.. Michael Jackson is really dead..Looking at his last photos of him in the hospital, with his airway tube just made me break down.. To see him so vulnerable, so still, will break my heart forever! I love you Michael. You will be greatly missed! Kris
i love michael with all my heart. He is such an amazing entertainer. Even though he is gone i will still remember the guy who did the moonwalk, who wears the amazing clothes, and his music. R.I.P Michael!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love michael jackson he made go music he was a firend to everyone must of all michael jackson he love everybody
I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE THAT MJ IS GONE FOREVER, I WILL MISS HIM SO MUCH! FOR ALL THE HATERS, LEAVE MICHAEL ALONE, HE HAD ENOUGH TO ENDURE WHILE HE WAS ALIVE, NOW LET HIM REST IN PEACE!!!!
MICHEAL, WE LOVE YOU AND YOU WILL BE FOREVER MISSED!!!
I think it is sad that he put himself for so much then passed away like he did, but i do blame the plastic surgery
i always loved Micheal Jackson ‘s songs
I love Micheal Jackson and i know he was the King of pop and my favorite song was thriller
Sweet Micheal will truly be missed, the new era Fred Astaire of dance will never grace the stage in body but he will live on forever in our hearts. Gone Too SOON!
Michael was a legend. He changed the enterteinment bisnuess forever. He was one of the most amazing singer and dancer to walk this Earth. His death was a horrible tragedy for everyone. And though not everyone liked Michael, he was just a kind, gentle, loving man who deserved to be treated better. Alot of people dont like him because of the tabloids, when all those stories are NOT true. Those ~_)$#~++*(*$)_` s just wanted his money. None will be able to dance and influence like him. Not to sound selfish but he was a huge influence in my life, he is the one who inspired me to dance. I think we should not remember him for how he plaqued with those lies, but for the amazing musician he was. =] R.I.P Michael Jackson. Your legend will live on. We all love and miss you. Your still moonwalking and pelvic thrusting in my heart. See you someday. =]
P.S. It doesn’t matter if your wrong or right, just BEAT IT!! (:
M.J was a hero…. He make us feel that the music was the king … it is him …. A king …for ver
michael jackson was the voice of a generasion he will be missed not just him but his music the legacy he left behide it really is a tragity for america
I was planning on attending that..i am just so shocked and sad..he will be deeply missed..i love you michael.
I love michael he was an inspiration on some young people. Michael jackson will always be loved and he will always be the king of pop.
I remember the first time I saw michael jackson, he blew my mind away, I am just two years younger than he, but even that young I remember being so impressed by how much talent he was gifted with. The generation before us had their Elvis, and we have our icon, that will always be remembered and will always be missed, I loved michael, his talent and music will forever be in my heart……..I hope he is in peace now, god bless him.
we love you michael. i still cant believe that you are gone. we lost a genius. we got mad love for you. ever time i hear you song i just bust out in tears.iam and i always be a big fan. love you michael
Michael’s performance of Man in the Mirror at the 1988 grammy’s still gives me chills to this day. You know everything he sings he genuinely feels and believes with all his heart. You really see and feel his heart through his music. His legacy will live on forever.
R.I.P Micheal-The loss of Micheal has left a hole in the music world. Even though the press has given him bad rep and a hard time..He came out on top. His true love of what he did shone through. A brilliant entertainer and a genius when it came to the music. Watching him, you cant help but feel the music.. He will always be in our hearts and sorely missed. But one thing..He can finally be at peace without all the pressure. God bless him and his children and family…We love you micheal..keep singing..for it makes a more beautiful sound in heaven, u being there…
The death of Michael Jackson is a great tragedy. He was perfection, a musical genious and an equally talented dancer I will miss his music and his smile. I have listened to his music all my life and he will live forever in my heart and home. I am sad that Michael thought he had to make a comeback, to us true fans he never left our hearts. All he needed to do is let us know where we could find him and we would be there. His legacy will live on forever.He was not only the greatest performer ever but he was a great humanitarian. I will miss his love for the world.

He is one of a kind. Rest in peace Michale Jackson You will be missed forever and you’r music will always be alive! Love you…. God bless you.
michael jackson was a very smart person. some people thought he was strange, but that was not the case. i believe he knew exactly what he was doing at all times. he was a great artist, and truly was the king of videos.
The first singer i ever remember was Michael Jackson and the Jackson Five . Michael truly is the king of POP and of music videos no other singer in any time has had such achivements i only signed up to this site to post because of him I am not a fan he was a major part of my up bringing . i grieve for him as if i lost a part of my family him and janet are forever in my heart
I was three years old when by sisters took me to a birthday party and the sound ABC was playing…..they did a viedo of me dancing to his music,I grew up listening to MJ the KING ….I could never get enough of his music…. I’m now in my late forty and my heart ache that we will never see this beautiful man and hear his god given voice ,that made so many so happy.May he rest in peace.
July 3, 2009 Michael Jackson will always be in my heart forever I will remember him buy listing to his awesome music.
P.S. I started crying when I heard about his death. May Michael rest in peace.
this is truly an unexpected event that has happened….. it is a very horrific tragedy that no one saw coming….. just wanna send my condolences to his family, friends and fans across the planet….. his music will truly live on….. thriller lives on…..
Michael’s music help me to realize how a woman should be loved and treated when in a relationship. His music also helped me during the time I was going through a divorce. His love songs gave me the strength to file the divorce and go through with it because I held onto his songs and realized the way I should be treated as woman by any man.
i remember when i was just a young girl ! and he came out i fell in love with him he is so amazing!!!!!!!!!!! We lost the king of pop way to soon we will never forget him.But as we all seen michael jackson for who he was and that should make us thankful he shared his life with all of us………… thank you ! Michael jackson I will miss you and always remember you !
I’ ve seen lots of people try to mimic what Michael Jackson did but it didn’t work because he is a legend and he was the only one I knew who could do the moonwalk. Well God dialed his number and he had no choice but to pick up. We’ll truly miss you Michael.
I GREW UP WITH MICHAEL JACKSON’S MUSIC. THOSE WHO ACCUSED HIM OF HEDIOS ACTIONS TOWARD CHILDRE WILL SOON GET THEIR DAY. HOW CAN THE SLEEP AT NIGHT? ALL YOU WANTED WAS HIS MONEY AND THEN YOU BEAT IT. WE WILL ALL MISS HIM VERY MUCH AND THERE WILL NEVER EVER BE ANOTHER KING OF POP. I WISH HIS FAMILY THE VERY BEST, MOSTLEY HIS MOTHER. FIGHT FOR YOUR GRANDKIDS/ AGAIN WE ARE SINCERLY FEELING YOUR PAIN
Michael Dios bendiga sus hijos y no habra nadie que sea como el WAO fuistes, eres y seras el super rey del pop, gracias vh1 por toda su informacion (desde PR)
I just cant wrap my head around this..I cant believe he is gone…I loved Michael so so much…He was so amazingly beautiful in all aspects of his life..so giving , so loving, so gentle, so innocent, so talented, Not since the death of Princess Diana , has a death affected me so much. Im absolutely heartbroken! I hope the world knows just how special this man was and how so many will weep for him..God bless you Michael, and i hope you are with the sweet Lord our God. I will miss you.
