JACKO'S LAST DANCE
This is the moment when Michael Jackson decided to rekindle his pop career.
Nervy Jacko received a standing ovation and hysterical reactions when he turned up as a special guest at Christian Audigier's 50th birthday last May.
The star also put on his last ever public dance show to the overwhelmed fans at the Peterson car Museum in LA,
Jacko, then 49, gave a three second skit of old school moves as his hit Thriller played out - before he was dragged away by his security team.
The star swung his hips and waved his arms as his smash played out in front of four thousand people.
Proud Audigier, 51, said: "Michael and I just hit if off. He told me he loved what I did and I said the feeling was mutual. He called me the King of Fashion. I called him the King of Pop. .
"I believe that moment sealed it in Michael's head to do his comeback. It was then he realised that the public still loved him.
"I was very happy to be a part of that.""
Jackson had hid himself away in Bahrain for two years from public events before the birthday bash.
He sunk into drug addicted depressions after his 2005 court case.
But he asked Christian to attend his event - and then decided to put in a rare public appearance.
"I think he was using it as a testing ground to see if people wanted him to comeback.
"He asked me lots of questions about the crowd and what was going to happen.
"Even though he was not performing he was very specific about how he wanted to enter the show.
"He asked to come on with Billie Jean and leave on Thriller. The crowd reaction was amazing, and Michael was on a high. Just a few days later rumours started spreading about a comeback."

Ahh this just makes me wanna cry. You can see all he wanted was to be back on the stage again. Just those few seconds when he starts boppin to the beat makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up in the promise of what could have been.. His comeback tour 'This Is It' in the UK. God help me i despise the 'juvenile' liars that led to the chain of events that would close this gorgeous mans eyes forever!

When he broke out with those moves it was fantastic. If only it had gone on longer. My heart jumped.
He had a twinkle in his eye too. All those ugly photos of him showed him dead inside and possibly addicted to drugs. When he smiled and his eyes DID sparkle he was always attractive no matter the surgery.

LOL dumb a$$ Christian Audigier is a joke. King of pop meets king of fashion LOL, I wanna be a king too, I'll be the King of Kings, Oh wait, I'll need an out of control narcissistic ego for that. What's Christian Audigier saying anyway? sounds like a wrestling match, lets get ready to rumble!
Oh thanks for screaming MJ's name and coaching the audience to cheer, did you think they would not unless you barked? It certainly was very undignified of you.

1) The guy in the tuxedo is a complete buffoon
2) 3 seconds of dancing ! Any comment is superfluous
