Can the Jackson brand rise again to the heady heights of the 80s? If tickets for his new London show are anything to go by, maybe. The ten initial dates announced at the O2 in London quickly rose to 50 by general sale, and each ticket was sold out in 11 seconds. It may have been twelve years since he last toured in the UK but baby dangling, criminal charges, court appearances and lack of music has done little damage to his popularity. There must be some worries about his performance (and that no body part flies off mid moonwalk), but if he gets it right, it will be some hell of a show. Not sure his merchandise will fare quite as well (who's gonna wear his t-shirt in public?) but when it comes down to it, the product is unbreakable and people will temporarily ignore the circus that is Brand Jacko. Aoww!
