Jacko's O2 gigs are perfect opportunity to re-establish his star legacy.
Editorial Paul Williams
IT SAYS EVERYTHING ABOUT MICHAEL JACKSON'S STATUS as a true musical icon that, even after the endless controversy that has surrounded him, his O2 residency this summer has every chance of becoming the live event of the year.
Forty years after I Want You Back - quite possibly the greatest debut single of all time - Jacko remains one of the most-talked about stars on the planet. In recent years, though, that has been for all the wrong reasons, but his planned series of dates in London gives him the perfect opportunity to switch the focus back on the music.
Admittedly, it has been a number of years since he put out an album the world got excited about, but you could say that about plenty of other superstar acts. However, in Jackson we are talking about someone who has been responsible for some of the greatest musical moments of the 20th Century. Thriller really did change everything.
