Michael Jackson to launch $60m comeback tour
Pop superstar Michael Jackson is to launch a multi-million dollar comeback tour at London's O2 arena, it has been revealed.
The 49-year-old former 'King of Pop' will receive $60 million for for the 30 day show at the London venue—formerly the Millennium Dome — a whopping $2 million a show.
The residency will be Jacko's first tour in a decade.
Michael has been working with Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am and rapper 50 Cent.
A source close to the financially troubled singer said: "Michael will be back on stage soon. He's been working hard in the studio mixing tracks and getting his vocals back in shape."
It is 25 years since Michael Jackson released his hugely successful album Thriller, which became by far the biggest selling album of all time with worldwide sales reaching over 104 million copies.
Recently his career has been in rapid decline as he battles crippling debt and controversy surrounding his private life.
Wacko has allegedly squandered his $1.5 billion fortune and he is $160 million in debt through mounting loans and lawsuits. In 2005 he was cleared of 10 child abuse charges but amassed a $30 million legal bill.
And his 2,700-acre Neverland ranch could still be repossessed after he failed to pay back a £12 million loan in October.
The source added to Britain's News Of The World newspaper: "Michael's had a tough few years. But he's still a pop legend and wants people to remember him for his music, not his problems."

The king of pop back
The king of pop back performing this is amazing! hes gonna show todays acts what it really means to be a superstar
deeply sad, how they
deeply sad, how they destroyed his name and legacy. i cant believe they let a sex offender and child molester free and loose into the public simply because he bribe the cops/authorities so that they can ask more money from him while he is free - sadly this is what our leaders and authority holder always and love to do. but im sure its deeper than that and surely Micheal didnt do all that bad thing that people accuse him of, it was because of his fame and fortune. and because his message of peace and love was too huge, his effect and influence would destroy the monopoly of this world and bring us peace and heaven on earth. but thats why this huge organize attack was unleash on him...
this is what i feel at heart biased on facts. but it doesnt mean its completely accurate even to me
first of all he is not the
first of all he is not the "former", king of pop. Second he is not or ever has been in any kind of debt. third, he is not even working with 50 cents on anything. i think you pathetic white trash in the media really need to stop brainwashing the public with you deliberate lies. and just get over your prejudice and ignorance. and get a life.
There are so many lies in
There are so many lies in this article, I'll have to review the news elsewhere to see if the confirmed residency is true. As you can see from the previous comments, real people want Michael Jackson to be shown the respect he deserves, but the media can't bare to honor his legendary success and talent so they stoop to lies and name calling. Pathetic.
I think it's great that
I think it's great that michael will tour again... but being an American MJ fan... I have to say.. I'm REALLY upset that he isn't going to tour over here. It's been since 1989. I'm not going to be able to make it across seas to see him live.
Why cant he perform like...
Why cant he perform like... 15 at Wembley 02 and 15 and Madison Square Garden? Jacko's MAJOR comeback problem would be solved if he toured the US again!
I can not wait till I hear
I can not wait till I hear the news that Mr Michael Jackson has made the comeback, his fans are all waiting for. I'm glad that he's working hard to get back into shape and trying his hardest to make a good album. GOOOOOOOOOD LUCK MICHAEL!!!!!!! I will definatley be in the front row watching.
