Interesting ! knowing the previous tours / concerts only from broadcasts & recordings, everybody please feel free to elaborate and tell who/what was/were the supporting acts if there was any when you attended a previous tour. Thanks !
Would be interesting to have all the e-mail easily accessible on a single place, for everybody to read by themselves, but what I remember at the time for this particular message (paraphrasing also), was even more like “too bad he’s dead but we will make even more money this way”
Bullshit. Also playing to 1 Mio. people in 1 city is not a downgrade.
More bullshit. Frankly, I don't really believe any of that shit.
Why not? He didn't have to do them all in 1 week. He had 9 months for those shows.
I had 20 tickets. For the first show and the last show of each leg and inbetween. It was hard work to get them all together. Bought my last on that wednesday in june. Had planned to buy 5 more once the shows started. My goal was to see another 25 shows on TII, to bring my MJ concert total to 50.I had tickets to show number 8 as I thought that any teething problems would have been ironed out by then.
I remembering getting excited at a text which allowed you to enter the pre-sale.
Tickets went on sale at 8 if I remember and the usual Ticketmaster website crashes occurred.
I ended up being anxious for the next 2 and a half hours until finally being able to book my ticket.
Man what a fcking feeling it was!! Knowing I was finally going to see MJ in concert for the first time.
Like many of us though, we never got that moment
If healthy, with the shows spaced out I could see it. However with what was going on I dont see him doing all 50 in the shape he was in regardless.
Those shows were spaced out.
If he wasn't healthy it doesnt really matter. Check out the This is not it thread. Several close fans, kenny Ortega, Mjs hairstylist all had concerns over his frail health.
So what? Doesn't mean they are right. He didn't die from bad health or exhaustion.
He died from certain choices that heavily impacted his health. I think they were right. Its obvious how thin and underweight he was. Again, check out the thread. It's a real insight. He wasn't healthy unfortunately towards the end. He needed help but didnt get it.
And again, he died because of his doctor and Propofol and not supposedly being unhealthy, which he wasn't according to the autopsy. So, no, I don't think they were right.
If MJ kept taking propofol like he was doing (he would have without intervention most likely) he would have died before all the shows were done.
Propofol wasn't the only substance he was using. The close fans that actually met him in person on several occasions noticed how extremely thin and underweight he was. You can see it in TII. You really think he could have continued taking surgical grade medications like that every day/night and complete 50 shows with that amount of physical stress? Again, if no substances/other health issues weren't a factor I would agree but that just isnt the reality we were given.
But Propofol was what killed him. Really, you don't have to tell me anything. Fact is we'll never know. But I believe if that doctor wasn't an incompetent quack, things wouldn't have went the way they went.
Nah, I'm saying if the doctor would have done what he was hired to do. Put him to sleep, watch him while he is sleeping with the proper equipment and not leave him to die, he would have made these shows. And yes, obviously it is a what if, as it didn't happen and he got killed by his doctor.
The lack of sleep caused by propofol use was killing him, not sure what's so difficult to understand about that.
Nah. It was acute Propofol intoxication that killed him. And his stopping breathing due to that. I understand perfectly. Not sure though if you do.
Actually, acute Propofol intoxication was one of the factors that killed him.
And yet it was the Propofol that did the trick. And not the shows. So really, what are we arguing here??? Why the hell are you so hellbent on "proving" that he wouldn't have been able to do the shows. It's pathetic. I maintain, that once he had gotten over that first show and felt the love of his audience that still stuck with him, he would have completed these shows and they would have been great.
And just miraculously cured his dependency on drugs? I don’t think you understand how addiction works.
No. I don't. Show me where I said that. But he used Propofol before on tour and that doctor did not kill him.
For one. It's questionable he was dependent on drugs, for two, people can take drugs and still do shows. And if he was taking stuff for anxiety and stress, once he gets back on stage and stuff goes well, anxiety and stress should be less than at a time you're maybe not as sure about yourself and in a rush to get a show together. But really, I'm done discussing this. I've stopped discussing this 10 years ago. I think you're wrong and I think those shows would have went over well, if that quack doctor wouldn't have crossed Michael's way. None of you will change my mind on that. And it's pathetic that his own "fans" are tearing him down and seem hellbent on denying that he would have been able to get shit done.
