More than one million fans have already applied for tickets to Michael Jackson's This Is It concerts in July, it has emerged.

The ten shows at the O2 Arena will mark the King of Pop's last ever performances in London.

Tickets - priced between £50 and £75 - go on sale on Friday (March 13th) at 7am, but fans have been given the opportunity to register for a pre-sale, which opens on Wednesday (March 11th).

Interest in Jackson's comeback has increased after the star appeared in good health at a press conference in London last Thursday (March 3rd).

Jackson told fans at the O2 Arena that he “loved them” - and insisted that the concerts in July would be his “final curtain call”.

The singer is expected to at least double his run of shows at the venue as demand to see him builds.

But fans could still miss out on seeing Jackson live as the O2 Arena only holds 20,000 people.

Alongside the concerts, Jackson is also believed to have signed a film development deal to make a movie entitled, Thriller 3D.
