The first show for Michael Jackson`s `This Is It` concerts in London should have been less than three weeks away.
50 shows went on sale for between July 2009 and March 2010 and then Jackson was going to take the show around the world. Around 1,000,000 tickets were sold.A setlist for the show was locked in place but now will never be heard.
Jackson was not going to perform anything from his last album ‘Invincible’ (2001) and the only pre-Off The Wall song planned was the 1975 track ‘One Day In Your Life’ which became a hit when it was re-released as a single in 1981)
