As 2008 rolled around, Michael Jackson accepted the inevitable: there was no alternative to a live comeback. The anniversary rerelease of Thriller was selling well by modern standards, but 3m copies worldwide was chicken feed compared with the 50m the album sold in its first incarnation. He had managed to hang onto Neverland and his half of the ATV song catalogue, but only by making some very specific promises to the new debt guarantors, Colony Capital. When Jackson’s new spokesman, the Colony partner Tohme R Tohme, informed the media that the King of Pop would be moving back to LA with his three children to be closer to “where all the action is”, talks with the LA-based concert promoters AEG had reopened. But when Tohme boldly added that “the second half of Michael’s career will be better than the first”, nobody at Colony or at AEG — and quite possibly not the artist himself — realised just how badly Michael Jackson had been missed.

“To me, the success of [the memorial] is measured by the fact that I think we were able to really humanize my friend and erase those caricatures that the press had created of him. If there is one thing I could point to it as to why it was successful, it would be that.”

Michael Jackson's fans are boycotting This Is It, the film about his last performance.

Thousands of the late singer's followers have formed a group called This Is Not It, to protest against the movie, which is due to be released on October 28.

The group has accused the AEG and Sony – the firms behind the film – of concealing Michael's poor health and glossing over the stress he was under as he prepared for his 50-date London residency.
