 Madonna turned her concert in London on Saturday night into a Michael Jackson love-in. The Queen of Pop toasted her King by performing a medley of his hits at the o2 Arena — the very venue Jackson was due to begin his 50-date Residency next week. She halted the gig halfway through while iconic images of the tragic star flashed up on screens behind her. As the beat to Jackson’s classic hit, Billie Jean, was pumped into the arena, one of her dancers, dressed in the superstar trademark black and white with a wide-brimmed hat and white gloves, began performing Jackson’s most famous moves - including moonwalking across the stage. The song turned into a medley with another classic Jackson hit, Wanna Be Startin’ Something, much to the delight of the London crowd. Madonna told the audience, “Let’s give it up for one of the greatest artists the world has ever known - Michael Jackson!” Later in the gig, the lyrics to Jackson’s hit track Man In The Mirror were flashed up on screen as Madonna took to the stage wearing a black armband and a single white glove - in honour of the late music legend. Speaking before the concert, she said, “I am so terribly sad about Michael Jackson’s death. I don’t know what artist wasn’t inspired by him. |
