Many a Michael Jackson fan mourned the passing of their musical idol in June last year – from electrical contractors who couldn’t resist the occasional moonwalk to car dealers who sing along to Beat It on the way to work, the King of Pop left behind legions of loyal followers. Now fans can catch their favourite Michael Jackson songs performed live at London’s Lyric Theatre, as Thriller – Live takes the stage.
Thriller – Live is a Michael Jackson tribute concert that has been running since before the star’s death in 2009. A group of talented performers treat the audience to spectacular choreography and special effects in a celebration of the famous Michael Jackson music hits.
This week marks the anniversary of the death of Michael Jackson, and although his estate has been stablilised, those in charge still face a daunting $300 million loan repayment due by the end of 2010. Posthumous sales of 31.5 million Michael Jackson albums have helped to pay off a large amount of debt, but the managers of the eccentric superstar’s estate feel they’re not out of the woods yet.
