Michael Jackson Video Shows Glimpses of the Old Magic

London O2 concert promoter releases footage of final rehearsals held two days before pop star's death
Video footage released early this morning of Michael Jackson's final rehearsals for his London shows proves that, despite all we now know about his health problems, Jackson had not completely lost his moves.

The one and a half minute clip released by the concert promoter AEG is said to have been shot on 23 June – two days before he died – and shows him rehearsing the 1995 hit They Don't Care About Us.

He is seen to struggle at times and is clearly not as fit as his dancers, but it's undoubtedly still Jackson.

There is said to be more than 100 hours' footage of him preparing for the 50-date run at the O2 arena, which may be turned into a feature-length film.
