MUMBAI: Celebrating the 30th anniversary of the King of Pop solo career, Big CBS Prime & Spark will pay tribute to Michael Jackson on 28- 29 April at 8 pm.
Two hour special will air Jackson’s exclusive concert from 2001 that wrapped up just hours before two hijacked jet planes crashed into the Twin Towers of Lower Manhattan’s World Trade Center. Jackson reportedly earned $7.5 million for each of the two concerts, which is over $150,000 per minute.
Playing to a sold-out audience, Destiny’s Child also performed “Bootylicious” and Shaggy performed “It Wasn’t Me” – two chart hits personally requested by Jackson himself.

The second hour of the show is by far the best remembered, featuring the exciting reunion of Michael and his brothers Jermaine, Jackie, Randy, Marlon, and Tito for a ‘greatest hits’ medley.
While this two-hour special was to also prepare the world for the release of Michael’s album ‘Invincible’, it also showcased the talents of the original Jackson 5 line-up as they performed such hits as ‘ABC’ and ‘I Want You Back’.
The concert closed out with Michael performing his latest hit from ‘Invincible’, ‘You Rock My World’ with Chris Tucker providing a few un-choreographed dance moves for laughs.
This spectacular concert showcased both Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 and was widely received by his fans and critics alike with lots of praise and admiration for the man who gave us such timeless hits as “Thriller”, “Beat It” and “Bad”.
