Photos of Michael Jackson's last rehearsal

by Daily Gossip Jun 30th 2009 6:30AM

Serving as a chilling reminder of the great performer that he was, photos from Michael Jackson's final rehearsal just two days before his death have now emerged.

In the photos, Jackson is seen performing on stage at the Staples Center as he was preparing for his summer concerts at the 02 Arena in London. In the photos, Jackson can be seen dancing with an ensemble in one photo, and also dancing solo with a white fedora hat in another.

The photos were taken on Tuesday, June 23, less than 48 hours before the King of Pop suddenly died of a cardiac arrest.

what a show man, performing right to the end, it must have been hard at times for this poor tormented soul. his father should be ashamed of himself for the way he treated his own flesh and blood. god only knows why those children have been put into the custody of this horrible leach.

Before his death I read: his family were suing him for breach of contract, for making a solo appearance in London during a period he had agreed not to, in lead up to them doing performances together. That would only add pressure, and depression to an already debt ridden and pressured person. There`s only so much of that you can take. Funny how the family are all over him now eh!

A true lovable genuine performer, with great songs, and a great smile.
Always in my heart and sadly missed.
England has lost a true artist.

It doesnt matter how horrible the tabloids are with the daily features on Michaels Life, he was loved and adored by many and he had talent. A fantastic voice, and it was a joy to watch him dance, what a mover. Yes slur him all you want but no one can take his talent into question, a legend and a loss to the world.

"Eric Clapton" and "toss-pot" actually. I doubt Clappers would agree with you.

In response to the numerous comments from high profile black musicians, quoting such things as, 'he was ours and we shared him with the world', to name but a few, im sure michael would have been gobsmacked by many of these quite frankly racist and self obsessed views.
His music came from the heart and was directed at 'EVERYONE', no matter what colour. I think thats pretty clear if you actually take time to listen to any of his material :P.
This is a typical stance taken by many nowadays in the music scene within what they still call 'minorities'. yep that still puzzles me.
Anyone of you out there has all the same opportunities as your equal, no matter what colour or belief. thats the truth. i see it everyday. successful people from every community.
The difference being, they put the effort in and didnt hang on stereotyping and blaming everyone else for their failures.
Michael was the epitomy of equality and love, its just a shame he is no longer around to continue giving what he could.
He is a legend and unfortunately we will probably not see another man like this for quite some time.
Peace Brother. And i mean that in the mankind sense. get over your own hangups, no-one owes anybody else anything, be it apologies for albeit, monstrosities 100's of years ago, or something that happened only last week.
We need to be the change we wish to see in the world.
If only we could walk the path he walked just for one day and share the love he did.
R.I.P. Michael, never forgotten

I appreciate the comments that have been made, as everyone is upset of Micheal's passing. In all of this, thanks should be sent to his parents, who not only gave us a talented singer, entertainer, they have given us someone who has united people of all walks of life to love and acually appreicated a sole human being.

Ah yes the parents who treated their kids as a meal ticket, gave them no chance of any sort of normality in any of their kids lives at a young tender age, then Michael was the shining star and their meal ticket what a wonderful place the world would be if all parents were like them. Dear god what are you like!
