This was a sad new to me:

Michael Jackson, the onetime child star turned King of Pop, died in Los Angeles on Thursday afternoon after suffering an apparent cardiac arrest in his home. He was 50 years old.

Jackson was pronounced dead at 2:26 p.m. at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center not far from his rental mansion in the Holmby Hills. The cause of death wasn’t known. An autopsy is set for Friday.

It was so sad to me and I really would like to give him my small tribute.  Read the rest of this entry »

I must say this, I have been fan of Michael Jackson since I remember. My father was fan of him too so, I have all the cds, videos… of his solo career and with his family too. So, I read a big new to me today about Michael Jackson because I think, he is still The King of Pop.

Michael Jackson may play up to 20 or 25 shows at London’s O2 arena, and is slated to begin a run of 10 dates on July 9. A press conference was set up today in London to announce the concerts, but AEG president and CEO Tim Leiweke broke the news earlier to Billboard.Leiweke told the publication that his company has been in talks for two years with Jackson. He also addressed the mental state of the “King of Pop.”  “The man is very sane, the man is very focused, the man is very healthy,” Leiweke is quoted as saying. “I think he has been dragged through the mud.”

As noted earlier this week, the O2 arena is the same venue Prince played for 21 nights in 2007, a string of concerts Billboard notes grossed more than $22 million. It’s been more than 10 years since Jackson staged a substantial tour, and no dates beyond London are expected to be announced today.

The official press conference is being streamed live on the Web, and updates are being posted to a Twitter feed. The event was due to start at 8 a.m. PST, but as of about 9 a.m., the Jackson Twitter said he might still be at his hotel. Earlier, the Twitter feed operator seemed to mistake the arrival of a security guard for La Toya Jackson.   Read more

So, I need to get some free days to go to one of this concerts. I am going to talk with my boss and to buy the tickets. Does anybody want to come?

I have been a big fan of U2 since I was a child. I love their music and I think they are one of the best bands ever. Today I got a big surprise when I was watching the news today! They performed on the seventh floor balcony of Broadcasting House in London!! I wish to live there! Well, I saw them at concerts… but I think, this is a great performance for all the fans, hehehe.

 ‘BOOTS’ OVER LONDON

The band played a surprise set high on the seventh floor balcony of Broadcasting House in London tonight. Nobody knew about it, except the 5,000 fans who showed up and stopped the traffic. Again.

Get On Your Boots, Magnificent, Vertigo and Beautiful Day rang out across the rooftops on a beautifully clear winters night as the police closed Portland Place in Westminster to keep traffic away so that the crowds massing on the streets below could enjoy the free show.

Only the BBC would have film of the set from their own helicopter.  Click here to read more.

Well, I would like to share the video with you all, so, here you go! I hope that you enjoy the video like me.
