Aww man he does look ill.

Why would he perform when he's ill? That's very bad for you!

Why would he perform when he's ill?

Uhm... because 50 000 people were waiting for him?



There were concerts he canceled when he was ill though... (e.g. Basel 1992)

i remember he was sick in Munich 4 & 6/07 (just after Vienna 2/07) he had fewer and he took off his jacket almost straight away, just after Scream... but he didnt seem sick in Helsinki. i was on both but in Helsinki he seemed fine. Joked with Wayne a lot...he didnt seem tired either... may be he was because of flying to Paris after each concert

What is the date of the Helsinki concert? Anyone know? Or the year? Thanks.

24th and 26th of August 1997. I was there for the 24th and he looked pretty darn amazing. I remember him shouting "I love you" to the crowd, and at one point he was drinking juice, and this guy in front of me thought it was beer. "Is that Michael Jackson drinking beer?!" :doh:

I was there. Right in front of the stage in both concerts and to me he looked great! :yes:

do you mean in Helsinki? Can this also be seen in the TV broadcast?

How often? And why on earth did he do that?

 

[raingirl]

He didn't stay over night in Helsinki. He flew back to France right after the concert. I think he preferred to be with Prince. Can't blame him. :wub:

to be with Prince and Paris. After every show.

sick, tired, bored.. it's understandable considering how repetitive the show was.

@Remington Steele, keep in mind that Michael Jackson suffered from respiratory bronchiolitis, according to his autopsy report.

Respiratory bronchiolitis leads also to fever, or even to shortness of breath.

This seems to explain why at certain HIStory concerts his dance moves were not so energetic, or why he appeared to be tired on stage, or even why he was sick on stage.

@MIST, his health condition in the 'This Is It' era was even worse.

According to his autopsy report again, Michael Jackson at that time was also crippled by arthritis (in the lower spine and some of his fingers, and mild plaque build-up in his leg arteries).

His lungs were also so inflamed that they were struggling to function.
