On the eve of Michael Jackson's death his final rehearsal for his London concert tour was recorded in high definition video and audio. That rehearsal could be released as the King of Pop's final album. The rehearsals at the Staples Center in Los Angeles were taped by concert promotion company AEG Live to produce an album and DVD of what Jackson had billed his "final performance" tour called "This Is It," according to Sharon Waxman of the Hollywood blog TheWrap.com.
Jackson had failed to appear at many of the scheduled rehearsals in Los Angeles over the past two months, but he was there for an "electric" full rehearsal on the night before his death.
Retailers like Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble have reportedly sold out of Jackson goods in the days after his death.
Patrick Woodroffe, a lighting designer for the concerts, watched the final rehearsal, he told the BBC.
"We had rehearsed for the last couple weeks. We put together a complicated show, quite a spectacular show," Woodroffe said.
"Of course a huge part of it was him, and I would say for the last week he hadn't really been with us. He would appear, and he would rehearse sometimes, and he would not rehearse," he said.
"I guess that we were nervous whether we would be able to carry off this show at the 02."
