==================

几个月前的一篇日志里提到过MJ在伦敦音乐会的新闻发布会上说过this
will be the final curtain call. 当时很多人包括我都觉得他以后应该会在其他地方看演唱会,毕竟他的经济状况也需要他这么做。早知道这样那天说什么也要去O2
arena看他最后一眼。他一生都暴露在镁光灯下,最后时刻也不例外:数以百计的歌迷聚集在医院门口举行悼念,英国最大的音乐界 – Glastonbury Music Festival 的主题也瞬间变成了tribute to the king of pop,24小时以来BBC几乎就没有报道过其他新闻。Reverend Al Sharpton: Hope the history will be more kind on him.

BBC说:London曾经被那么多的歌迷所嫉妒。演唱会的门票瞬间一抢而空,ebay上最低报价 £500+。就在几天前,演出方还用抽签的方式卖出了最后一批门票。退票肯定没有问题,但是我想大部分歌迷都会选择留下这场MJ永远不能完成的演出的门票吧,这是king
of pop留给大家最后的作品。
