Jackson himself needs no introduction, having been an influential figure in the world of music for some time. His success has clocked up a staggering amount in record sales and earned him the long-time title of the King of Pop, something that no-one has been capable of taking from him. His career has spanned four decades and included many chart hits, with his album Thriller still holding the title of the best selling record of all time. In total his records have amounted to an amazing 750 million units sold around the world. As well as these spellbinding statistics, Jackson can also lay claim to the famous Moon Walk dance move, popularised by him for many years.
This musical extravaganza is the first time Jackson’s work has been showcased in such a way in the United Kingdom and is produced with the backing of Sony BMG Music Entertainment UK.
