I can list you dozens of MJ projects that MJ never talked about but there is clear evidence that he was working on.
With the AEG/MJ contract I did not reflect on him agreeing to do 50 shows in London, but that from the beginning he planned to tour multiple cities.
And here is a list of the tours in 2002 (that includes Jon Bon Jovi, U2, Pink, Billy Idol, etc): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:2002_concert_tours
Barry Siegel (who was preparing these documents about a planned ‘Invincible’ Tour) was apparently acting in the interest of Sony, and Sony was forcing Michael Jackson to tour for the ‘Invincible’ album.
In reality, Michael Jackson never expressed any desire to tour at that time for that album.
At every given opportunity, he publicly stated that he did not want to, or that he did not agree to tour for that album.
Here is what Michael Jackson also stated about that during the Rick Dees Halloween 2003 Radio Interview:
Rick Dees: “Any word on whether you're gonna put together a tour for 2003 or is it too early to tell.”
Michael Jackson: “Yeah, I really don't… I don't know myself now. No I don’t think so, we're really concentrating on other areas now.”
Or, what he stated about touring generally, some years earlier:
“…I love to entertain, but I don't like the system of touring. You're jet-lagged. You're sleepy on stage. I don't know where I am half the time. I may not tour again. Ever.” (Michael Jackson, Life Magazine Interview, 1997)
Also, Michael Durham Prince talked about an ‘Invincible’ Tour which was supposedly meant to start in spring of 2002, but at that point Sony had already ended any promotion for that album.
And we should keep in mind that Michael Jackson was often being manipulated when it came to such matters (when, for example, they wanted to get his signature), just like AEG Live’s document that has his signature on it about him doing 50 London shows, when in fact he never agreed to do those 50 London shows.
