Michael Jackson – the final footage

This is the final footage of Michael Jackson, filmed just 48 hours before his tragic death last Thursday. In the video, a noticeably thin but seemingly fit Jacko leaps and shimmies across the stage surrounded by backing dancers, throwing in a good few "owws" just for good measure. Heartbreakingly, the footage clearly illustrates that Michael was planning a show much like his earlier, hugely spectacular gigs, and that he was someway towards recapturing some of that old Jacko magic. Watching it now, though, knowing what was to happen, makes it almost haunting, and makes us feel a little bit sad all over again.
