| Michael Jackson concert chronology | |
MJ & Friends were two concerts held by American recording artist Michael Jackson in 1999, with numerous other performers as well.[who?][1] The purpose of the tour was to raise funds for children in Kosovo, Africa and elsewhere.[2] Jackson gave two concerts during the tour. The first one took place in Seoul, South Korea on June 25 (exactly ten years before his death) and the second one was in Munich, Germany.
Munich bridge accident
At the Munich Concert, while performing "Earth Song", the middle section of the bridge collapsed after ascending into the air.[3] Jackson climbed out of the pit that the mechanism landed in, and continued the song without missing a beat. The guitarist Slash was front and center on the main stage at the time: he also continued his performance without missing a beat, while dashing upstage to safety. Jackson finished the concert, but was taken to the Rechts der Isar Hospital afterwards. He suffered sprained ankle, shock nerves and slight burns on arms. None of the fans, crew or backup performers were injured. The crash was confirmed to be a mechanical failure from the crane, as of Kenny Ortega, director of the shows.
The same stunt had been performed without the incident at the first concert in Seoul.
Millennium Concert
On December 31, 1999, Michael Jackson was scheduled to perform at Aloha Stadium in Hawaii and at Stadium Australia in Sydney. These plans were later cancelled and removed from the MJ and Friends Tour.
