Jackson to announce O2 shows
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 4 March 2009
Michael Jackson is expected to announce a summer residency at the O2 Arena later this week.
The star will appear at the venue tomorrow to make a “special announcement”. Of course, the special announcement could be something entirely different, but the BBC’s entertainment news team are claiming via their Twitter feed that they have had it confirmed that the gigs are set to go ahead.
If this is so, then it’ll be quite a summer of troubled stars at the Dome, with Britney Spears also performing eight nights at the venue in June. It will also be the first time Jackson has performed in London since he disappointed fans by singing just a few lines from ‘We Are The World’ at the World Music Awards in 2006.
