ON THIS DAY IN MICHAEL JACKSON HISTORY- FEBRUARY 23 1988 Michael kicks off the 2nd leg of his BAD Tour in Kansas City, Missouri. This will be his first ever U.S. solo concert. The newly revised shows included more songs from the BAD album than did the the first leg of the Tour which started in Japan. Michael left the sold out house of about 17,000 spellbound with his amazing vocals and moves that weren't around until he invented them. Sponsored by Pepsi and spanning 16 months, the tour included 123 concerts for over 4 million fans across 15 countries. It grossed a total of $150 million, making it the second highest-grossing tour of the 1980s after Pink Floyd's Momentary Lapse of Reason tour, and earning two new entries in the Guinness World Records for the largest grossing tour in history and the tour with the largest attended audience.It was nominated for "Tour of the Year 1988" at the inaugural International Rock Awards. Michael had made a public statement at the end of the tour that he intended for it to be his last as a touring artist, as he had plans to transition to movie making. Second leg (1988–1989)

Rehearsals for the tour's 1988 leg took place at the Pensacola Civic Center in Pensacola, Florida from January 22 to February 18, 1988. Vincent Paterson, who had worked with Michael on several videos, was brought in to choreograph and co-direct the tour with Michael. On the last day of preparation, Michael allowed 420 school pupils to watch him rehearse after the children made him a rap music video in his honour. The first performances were to begin in Atlanta, yet Pepsi officials objected as the city was home to rival drinks company Coca-Cola. For both Atlanta shows, Jackson gave 100 tickets to the Children's Wish Foundation for terminally ill children. The first of three concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York City in March served as a benefit to raise $500,000 to the United Negro College Fund. Michael presented a check of $600,000 to the fund. On March 2, 1988, Michael performed at the 30th Annual Grammy Awards, receiving an enormous standing ovation after performing "The Way You Make Me Feel" and "Man in the Mirror". Michael's album, Bad was also nominated for Album of the Year at the ceremony.Michael began his European tour in Rome at the Flaminio Stadium on May 23, 1988. Police and security guards rescued hundreds of fans from being crushed in the crowd of 35,000.Police reported 130 women fainted at the concert in Vienna on June 2. On June 17, Michael travelled to the town of Vevey to meet Oona O'Neill, the widow of comic actor Charlie Chaplin. "I have fulfilled my biggest childhood dream", said Michael after the visit. The most successful of the European dates were those in London at Wembley Stadium. Ticket demand for the five July dates exceeded 1.5 million, enough to fill the 72,000 capacity venue 20 times Michael performed seven sold out shows, beating the previous record held by Madonna, Bruce Springsteen and Genesis. More shows could have been added, but the venue had reached its quota for live performances.The third concert on July 16 was attended by Diana, Princess of Wales and Prince Charles. On September 8, Michael was entered into the Guinness World Records, the first of three times from the tour alone. The Wembley shows were attended by a record 504,000 people. Management also presented him with a special award.On July 30, NBC aired Michael Jackson Around the World, a 90-minute special documenting the singer on tour.

Yamuna Sangarasivam in Michael Jackson's iconic 'Black or White'

Here's the story of how Lankan dancer Yamuna Sangarasivam played an unforgettable role in Michael Jackson's iconic 'Black or White' music video years ago.

"Abbiamo lavorato a lungo su Bad.Anni.

Alla fine, né è valsa la pena, perché eravamo tutti soddisfatti del risultato ottenuto,ma è stato molto difficile.

Ci sono stati momenti di tensione, perché si aveva la sensazione di essere in competizione con sé stessi;per quanta attenzione avremmo potuto presentare era chiaro che la gente avrebbe fatto il paragone tra BAD e THRILLER.

per quanto si possa dire:<LASCIATE PERDERE THRILLER>nessuno se lo dimenticherà mai..."

Siamo tedeschi, siamo armeni, francesi, italiani, russi, americani, asiatici, africani, di qualsiasi altra nazionalità. Siamo cristiani, ebrei, musulmani e indù. Siamo neri, siamo bianchi. Siamo una comunità con così tante differenze, così complessa eppure così semplice…..non abbiamo bisogno di una guerra.“

ALLAN, IL BIMBO MALATO

Era il 24 febbraio 1988 quando Michael Jackson si esibì nel secondo concerto statunitense del suo Bad World Tour, incantando i 16.959 spettatori giunti al Kemper Arena di Kansas City, nel Missouri.

Tra questi, anche il piccolo Allan Buford, un bambino di due anni malato di cancro che, in quella magica sera di 34 anni fa, riuscì a coronare il suo sogno più grande: assistere a uno show di MJ.

Fu lo stesso Re del Pop ad invitare Allan e sua madre Brenda, i quali ebbero anche la straordinaria possibilità di trascorrere con lui due, indimenticabili minuti nel dietro le quinte, in compagnia di altri bambini svantaggiati.

Questo era Michael: un uomo che fece della sua Arte un raggio di luce per tutti gli ultimi della Terra.
