The deal for the O2 shows was part of a multifaceted agreement ironed out between concert promoter AEG Live and Dr. Tohme Tohme, who was Michael Jackson's manager, business adviser, and spokesperson in 2008 and 2009. |

While Jackson has primarily devoted the past years to raising his children, he had decided to return to the stage to show them what he could do and to put an end to various rumors, stated Dr. Tohme Tohme, Jackson’s manager who was staying with Jackson at the Lanesborough Hotel in London. |

== Line removal == |
|||
The following bit from the article should be removed as it has nothing to do with the actual topic of the article. |

However, on October 20, an Irish choir revealed that they had what could be the star's last studio recording — an off the cuff version of the famine song The Fields of Athenry recorded when he was in Ireland in 2006. The village choir from Caherraggin in Westmeath, Ireland were using the song as a choral warm-up when he joined in and sang six verses. The song is a popular football anthem and features a line "Michael, they have taken you away." <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/69.249.50.55|69.249.50.55]] ([[User talk:69.249.50.55|talk]]) 02:58, 4 November 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |
|||
== Setlists and dates == |
|||
1) Since the article indicates possibly more than 20 setlists to be used during the "Tour", I don't think posting any one set list here would make sense. There is no "single" setlist for a tour with a rotating list. |
|||
2) Do people think the list of dates is necessary? The tour won't happen now, the dates don't add particular value, as long as the article still says "the shows were to run with 27 shows from July 13 until September 29, 2009, and then resume with 23 shows from January 7 until March 6, 2010." Perhaps with an addition that "Shows would have mostly taken place two days apart, with a few larger gaps between some shows." (33 of the 49 gaps between concerts are 2 day gaps. 5 are three-day, 3 are four-day, 5 are five-day, and there's a seven-day, eleven-day and the three-month gap) if people think the frequency of the shows is important. I really don't think pinpointing the date of the 32nd concert or knowing whether he would have played on August 12 is a significant point of information for readers.

It's very well documented that Jackson was working with David Copperfield on magic tricks for the show, but then dropped him when he wanted $1m per show.

== Status as a "residency" == |
|||
To EscapeX - please stop with your edit war of adding categories such as ''2009 concert tours''. '''<big><u>PLEASE</u></big>''' understand that this page is not about a tour. As has been explained to you several times before, a [[concert tour]] is by definition something that moves from city to city, and plays in different arenas. "This Is It" did not do that, therefore it is not a tour, and so we should not add categories saying that it is one. The same thing applies with your insistance on using a table layout with columns for City/Country/Venue. This makes no sense because there is only one location involved. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/86.175.220.114|86.175.220.114]] ([[User talk:86.175.220.114|talk]]) 18:22, 27 March 2013 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

Should we use British date format on this article instead of American date format? Although Michael Jackson was American, this article is describing what was a planned London concert residency, and London is in the United Kingdom. Therefore, I vote we use British date format, as it was set to be a British concert residency and not an American one, even though Jackson himself was American.
