Michael Jackson To Return for London O2 Arena Residency

Michael
There’s never a shortage of rumors and rude talk when it comes to Michael Jackson. This time however, we’re happy to report that the chatter is about a “come back” tour. For years there’s been a whisper that the King of Pop could be back on a stage near you, but as of today, it’s on. Earlier this week NME.com was reporting on a Michael Jackson residency at London’s 02 Arena set for later this year; and today the Michael Jackson website confirmed it all. And what’s better, Jacko is gonna be at the press conference tomorrow (Thursday, March 5) to officially announce the dates and you can go! (Details below.)

Following the initial announcement, it’s expected that additional dates could be added depending on demand. These appear to be the only shows he will play this year, but no one seems to know for sure. Stay tuned to JamBase and we’ll be sure to hit ya with details as we get them.

Michael Jackson’s last tour was in 1996.
