Inside Michael's last show - Hours before death, flashes of old magic

Fans had ponied up $85 million for 750,000 tickets to Jackson’s 50 shows at London’s O2 arena, a marathon swan song, aptly titled This Is It, that was scheduled to begin July 13. Instead, the final curtain fell Wednesday night at a rehearsal in Los Angeles’ Staples Center, where Jackson sang and danced for the last time.

No applause. No screaming throng. No demands for encores. Only his crew and a few guests saw what would be the unheralded closing performance by one of history’s greatest entertainers.
