Saturday night in London, on the very stage where Michael Jackson was set to re-launch his career, the King of Pop was given a fitting tribute by one of his biggest fans, Madonna.
It was the first night of Madonna's Sweet & Sticky tour's run in Europe. A few minutes in, the stage went dark and the distinctive sounds of Billy Jean filled The O2 arena. With a Jackson impersonator showing off some of Michael's signature dance moves, Madonna grooved in the background.
