Michael: His Last Rehearsal, in Photos!

These photos from Michael Jackson's final dress rehearsal - the night before his death - for his London shows are very bittersweet to look at.

Especially since it seems that despite all his tabloid headline-making behavior, he was really going to pull off his O2 Arena gig with flair.

It is, however, good to see him smiling on stage, evoking memories of Jackson in his heyday.

Rest in peace, Michael.

It's funny to see you now acknowledge the fact that Michael Jackson was actually going to do the concerts. As you first reported the day that Michael collapsed and died you said that he was just faking it to get out of doing the concerts. That was very distasteful of you! I used to be one of your biggest supporters but was completely disgusted that you would've made that kind of assumption without knowing how serious his situation was at the time. You have absolutely no moral filters.

He looked good, seemed to be in great spirits…. It can happen so fast, and you don't expect it. So horribly sad.. Rest in peace Michael.

he lived for his music and fans.
he might have had some problems, personally, but who are we to judge him that way. we shoud be happy he blessed us with his legendary music.

i would have given anything to see him one last time:

REST in PARADISE to our KING OF POP.
