Michael Jackson’s series of 10 concerts at London’s O2 arena in July will be “the final curtain call”, he has said. … “I’ll be performing the songs my fans want to hear. This is the final curtain call.” … The star was “in great shape” for the dates, [Randy Phillips, chief executive of promoter AEG Live] said. “He’s passed an extensive four-hour physical with independent third party doctors selected by the insurance carriers. He’s in incredible health.”

I don’t think so. What I am wondering about, though, and call me callous, is what happens to all the pennies people paid to get tickets for the concerts. Not that I bought tickets to see him, of course; I’ve always thought he was overrated, myself.
