Michael Jackson: This is It!

The King of Pop Michael Jackson returned to the stage Thursday after eight years marked by more scandal than music-making and proclaimed to thousands of screaming fans and media "this is it"!

Wearing his trademark sunglasses and a silver-embroidered black military-style jacket, he said that a series of 10 London shows beginning July 8 will mark his “final curtain call.” Not sure if he means London, the world, or ever. With Jacko you never know.

Jackson appeared at the 02 Arena — where the concerts will be staged — to announce the gigs. No word on any North American tour dates.
