Michael Jackson Postpones London Gigs
Posted by Adam
Michael Jackson has postponed his live comeback shows at London’s O2 Arena.
The 50-year-old singer — who is reportedly suffering from skin cancer — will push back some of the dates until 2010.
Jackson was meant to kick off the 50-date-long set of live shows on July 8. They were due to wind up on February 24, 2010.
Full refunds will be given if ticketholders can’t make the new dates.
A statement released from Michael’s PR company reads, “Due to the sheer magnitude of the This Is It concerts at The O2 arena promoters and producers AEG Live and Kenny Ortega, Michael’s directorial partner and creative collaborator have elected to move back a few of the opening shows in order to meet the challenges presented by such a massive and technically complex show.
“Organizers are determined that all Michael’s legions of fans attending the opening nights get to experience the same high quality staging that is planned for all of the spectacular shows.”
The opening show on July 8 will now take place on July 13. Afterwards, the show on July 10 moves to March 1 next year, with the July 12 & 14 shows moving to March 3 and March 6, 2010, respectively.
