Hmm I didnt realise his record sales have shot up too, although I should have expected it. Thriller up by 80% and his 'King of Pop' compilation sales increasing four fold? On top of what he will make from the tickets (I'm sure I read somewhere that he's meant to pocket 40% of each ticket but that may not be accurate) and merchandise he should make a crapload of money!

Hmm I'm sorry but I guess I just dont see your point. He isnt blabbering about his health anymore, it was only a few weeks ago before the tickets went on sale that he said he finally felt able to do a comeback. Thats why he hasnt done it all these years but he's gone on record as saying he feels up to it now. Even if he was still blabbering about his health it wouldnt directly affect ticket sales aslong as they were there to be bought.
He needs to show, of course but thats a given.
And the material he will play for this comeback? Thats irrelevant too. The seats are
sold. They've gone. All
fifty nights residence at the O2 have been sold, the money is in his pocket, he can play whatever he wants and even be totally rubbish because the money's in his pocket.
