Michael Jackson's Final Rehearsal Video Music 3 July, 2009 - 9:52 AM

AEG Live, the promoters behind Michael Jackson's comeback concerts in London have released footage of the late King of Pop in rehearsals on June 23, just days before his tragic death on June 25.

The video shows Jackson performing They Don't Care About Us from the HIStory album.

The rehearsal footage was shot at Los Angeles' Staples Center, rumoured to be the venue for a possible public memorial celebrating Jackson's life.

The reaction to the footage has been mixed, with some saying that Jackson appears to be struggling and looking frail.

What do you think?

  He was 50, so good on MJ for getting out there and still dancing at his age - he was in rehearsal so he's not going to push himself too much. From what I see, he was marking some moves and i'm guessing he would have saved his energy for the actual performances. In comparison to his dancers, they are in their mid 20's and they have to give their all...it was good to see him still pull out some classic moves - love him and miss him xox

  Struggling? NO WAY! He was rehearsing, not everything will be perfect - plus he was singing and moving briliantly! Remember, it was a slower song, you can't judge really until you see the more uptempo ones like "Billie Jean" etc! It would have been an amazing show!

  I am devastated! This the first time I have felt sadness over death and to mourn is the worse feeling in the world. I feel so sad and like nothing in the world matters anymore, like there is no purpose left. I feel like crying whenever I am reminded of Michael Jackson, I want to cry right now but I am at work, it's just horrible.
  God bless his kids and family and RIP Mr King.

  I must admit, I have underestimated him. He was 50 and could still dance and sing like that. Struggling? No way! He looked amazing! The best ever! He is not wacko Jacko! He is the amazing Michael Jackson!
