*CANCELLED - RIP MICHAEL JACKSON* Twelve years after the HIStory World Tour, the 'king of pop' Michael Jackson plays a host of exclusive dates at London's O2 Arena in an extraordinary sell-out tour split between summer 2008 and the first two months of 2009. If the idea of 'wacko Jacko' performing 50 more-or-less consecutive gigs to an expectant crowd of thrilled fans isn't ambitious enough, it will come as even more of a surprise to learn that the 50-year-old plans to make his entrance atop an elephant, while assorted panthers, monkeys and wild birds roam, frolic and fly in his wake. Whether or not this circus sees the light of day is another matter - and given the frailties of the former pop legend, you have to worry for those people who queued all night to get tickets and only managed to snare ones for his later shows. For all his vocal and dance abilities of yesteryear, surely this is a step too far for even Michael Jackson, whose mind is clearly stuck somewhere between Neverland and the African jungle - not exactly a great place to be when the debts are rising and the whole world is watching. As The Strokes might say, Is This It? *CANCELLED - RIP MICHAEL JACKSON*
