Started in Spring of 1979. The Jacksons first performed at the Rainbow Theatre in London, England. The tour covered countries such as France, Kenya, and Holland.
The tour kicked off in Memphis, Tennessee and concluded in Los Angeles, California with 4 sold out performances in the city and a total of 39 U.S. cities.
Was the biggest tour done by a group. It has been said that Michael did not see eye to eye with promoter Don King, and this tour would be the Jacksons' last tour together as a group.
Was the biggest tour by any performer. Grossing over US$128 million worldwide. This has since been beaten by the Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney. [1]
Tour was cut short due to Michael's health and the ongoing problems relating to child molestation allegations against him that year. The tour was slated to arrive and conclude in various cities within the United States in late 1993 and 1994.
This topped Michael's Bad tour in terms of capital, grossing over 178 million. Most impressive is the fact that Michael never toured the continental U.S., despite two shows at the Aloha Bowl in Hawaii. He was the first artist in history to sell out the 35,000-capacity stadium.
Michael performed 7 sold out concerts at Wembley Stadium, London with 74,000 in attendance per night. This totalled to 504,000 which earned Michael a Guinness World Record for the attendance record.
