Thriller is a high-octane, spectacular live show in honour of the King of Pop and The Jackson 5. With full support from Sony BMG the show is the first major live theatre interpretation of Jackson’s work, and includes hits such Beat It, Billie Jean, Show You The Way To Go, Can You Feel It,  I Want You Back, I’ll Be There, Rock With You and She’s Out Of My Life. Thriller – Live found its new residency after standing ovations at European concerts, and three highly acclaimed tours of the UK.

The dazzling choreography, sensational dancing and distinctive sound of Michael Jackson has been uniquely captured thanks to award-winning director Gary Lloyd, who has worked with Robbie Williams, Leona Lewis and Will Young to produce imagery that compliments eye-popping multi-media effects. Join the celebration of the 40 year career that saw more than 750 million records sold worldwide, with the album of the show’s title remains the best-selling recording of all time.

In news that has sent shock waves around the world, a Los Angeles hospital has confirmed media reports that Michael Jackson, the “King of Pop”, died from cardiac arrest on Thursday, after being rushed to the hospital from his home.

Capt. Steve Ruda of the Los Angeles Fire Department told the Los Angeles Times that when paramedics responded to a 911 call at his home at 12:26pm, the 50-year-old Jackson was not breathing.

Paramedics performed CPR on route to the hospital, according to the newspaper report. A family member said that his mother and his brothers were on their way to the hospital, adding: “[He's in] really bad shape.”

At this time, the cause of Jackson’s death is unknown, although his spokesman had earlier denied reports that he was suffering from cancer, saying that the star was “in the best of health.”

The “Thriller” star, at times bizarre and often plagued by scandals, was working on a comeback recently. He was to perform an unprecedented 50 concerts in London, scheduled to begin later this summer, which sold out as soon as tickets sent on sale.

He burst onto the music scene as a child star with his brothers, in the family musical act The Jackson Five – nearly 40 years ago.

With “Thriller”, Jackson still holds the record for having the largest-selling album in the world. He wowed his fans across the world with mega-hits such as “Billie Jean” and “Rock With You”.
