In April (1999), MJ visited England for a few days.
Being mostly accompanied by Mohamed Al-Fayed, he made several public appearances. For example, both of them attended a football match that took place at Fulham’s stadium (Craven Cottage). Also, MJ made a surprise visit to the London-based Liberty Radio (that was owned by Al-Fayed at that time).
On April 11th, MJ met in person with his fans that thronged Park Lane (an area which is located in central London, outside Al-Fayed’s residence, as well). They even had the opportunity of posing him various questions. MJ answered many of them without hesitation &, as a result, that interview lasted for over one hour.
Among others, MJ said to his fans that his two favorite songs (from all the songs he has ever written) were ‘Earth Song’ & ‘Stranger In Moscow’. Also, he expressed his desire to get more involved in the movie industry (soundtracks, for example) in the following years. What is more, he even said (to them) that his all-time favorite musical piece was ‘Afternoon Of The Faun’ (a symphonic poem meant for orchestra that is listed in Claude Debussy’s most prominent works).
That unofficial, off-the-record interview sounds to me very interesting but I am not quite sure if it really does exist (in its entirety).
