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.
