In the days just before his death, Michael Jackson was working harder than he ever had in hopes of staging “the greatest show on Earth” according to our latest cover story.
Claire Hoffman retraced the pop icon’s final moments for “The Last Days of Michael Jackson” in the latest issue of Rolling Stone, and found that Jackson was well aware of how the public came to perceive him in recent years and that he had fully dedicated himself to a comeback tour that he hoped would erase that perception.
“He wanted people to see his work and not just talk about his lifestyle,” AEG CEO Randy Phillips tells Hoffman in her cover story.
He was also eager to finally clean up his finances and settle down in Las Vegas. “He was ready to stop living like a vagabond and settle down and earn money again,” Phillips tells Rolling Stone.
And those who were inside his final rehearsals say that the show he was prepared to mount may have actually succeeded on all fronts.
“He was so brilliant on stage,” tour director Kenny Ortega tells Hoffman. “I had 거위, 거 위 bumps.”
“I turned to somebody and said, ‘This is amazing,’” adds Ken Ehrlich, the longtime Grammy Awards producer who sat in on rehearsals. “For so many years I have watched Chris Brown and Justin Timberlake and 어셔 and the Backstreet Boys and En Vogue all imitate Michael Jackson — and now here we were this many years later, and he was going to do it again. I got chills, literally. The hairs on the back of my neck were raised. Those are the moments 당신 hope for.”
Claire Hoffman’s “The Last Days of Michael Jackson” can be found in Issue 1084, on newsstands now, and 당신 can get the story behind her cover story in our exclusive video.

당신 were there, before we came
당신 took the hurt, 당신 took the shame
They built the walls to block your way
당신 beat them down, 당신 won the 일
It wasn't right, it wasn't fair
당신 taught them all, 당신 made them care
Yes 당신 were there and thanks to 당신
There's now a door, we all walk through
And we are here, for all to see
To be the best that we can be
Yes I am here...
'Cause 당신 were there
당신 took the hurt, 당신 took the shame
They built the walls to block your way
당신 beat them down, 당신 won the 일
It wasn't right, it wasn't fair
당신 taught them all, 당신 made them care
Yes 당신 were there and thanks to 당신
There's now a door, we all walk through
And we are here, for all to see
To be the best that we can be
Yes I am here...
'Cause 당신 were there

IN A WORLD FILLED WITH HATE WE MUST STILL LOVE
WITHOUT 사랑 THE EARTH WOULD NOT BE TURNING THIS VERY MINUTE
IN A WORLD FILLED WITH DREAM CRUSHERS WE MUST STILL DARE TO DREAM
WITHOUT DREAMS ALOT OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE WOULD BE LOST
IN A WORLD FILLED WITH CRIMES,PROVERTY, AND WAR WE MUST STILL HAVE HOPE
WITHOUT HOPE THIS WORLD WOULD NOT BE HEAR
IN A WORLD FILLED WITHOUT 당신 IN OUR LIVES
WE MUST STILL DARE TO BE AN INSPIRATION FOR OTHER PEOPLE WHO FIND OUT WHO
당신 ARE AND YOUR MUSIC
