Michael Jackson concert chronology

The Dangerous World Tour was the second solo concert tour by American singer Michael Jackson. The tour, sponsored by Pepsi-Cola, included 69 performances to an audience of 3.5 million. All profits were donated to various charities including Jackson's own "Heal the World Foundation". The tour ran from June 27, 1992, to November 11, 1993. In 1993, Jackson ended the tour due to, as he announced, illness that required hospitalization. The performer became dependent on painkillers, having suffered from dehydration, migraines and injuries.

Overview

First leg (1992)

On February 3, 1992, at a news conference at New York City's Radio City Music Hall, Jackson announced his plan to embark on an 18-month world tour, with a goal to gross $100 million by Christmas 1993 for his own "Heal the World Foundation".[1] A chartered Antonov An-124 jet flew the set and equipment from Los Angeles to London for the opening European dates. The cargo was then transferred onto 65 trucks for transportation.[2] Clothes used for the tour weighed two tons, including ones featuring fibre optics, lasers and explosives.[3] On June 28, a day before the opening concert in Munich, Jackson donated $26,000 for the city's needy children.[4]

On October 10, the HBO network broadcast Michael Jackson in Concert in Bucharest: The Dangerous Tour, a taped performance of the singer's concert from Bucharest on October 1. The program, viewed by an audience of 12.7 million,[5] was awarded a CableACE Award in 1994 for "Outstanding Musical Special". In 2004, the concert was released on DVD as part of Jackson's Ultimate Collection box set. It was then released as a separate item a year later. The final three European leg performances in Greece and Turkey were cancelled due to the singer suffering from a throat ailment.[6]

On December 31, during the performance in Tokyo, guitarist Slash made an appearance to perform "Black or White" with Jackson. He previously appeared during the concert in Oviedo in September.

Second leg (1993)

On August 24, 1993, accusations of child sexual abuse against Jackson were made public. A search warrant was issued, allowing police to search the singer's Neverland Ranch home in Santa Ynez Valley, California.

During his stop in Moscow in September, Jackson came up with the song "Stranger in Moscow", which was released on his 1995 album HIStory.

Before the tour was cancelled, Jackson was scheduled to perform in Dubai but the country barred Jackson from appearing there after unsigned pamphlets were circulated in Dubai urging a boycott of the concerts due to the crotch-grabbing Michael did.

The first of two concerts in Santiago on October 21 was cancelled. Jackson's personal doctor informed in a news conference the singer had pulled a muscle in his lower back.[7]

On November 12, Jackson postponed the remainder of the tour. In a taped statement, the singer said the pressure of the molestation accusations prompted the abuse of prescription painkillers. He credited Elizabeth Taylor for providing him with advice and support.[8] Scheduled performances in Sydney on December 3–4 and Melbourne on December 7 were cancelled.[9] Concerts planned in New Delhi in December faced a backlash from activists who considered the performer "vulgar".[10]
