article imageMichael Jackson Plans To Reignite His Musical Career With NKOTB Tour

When (and more importantly) if it happens, it will grab eyeballs by the millions. Reports from the world of music say Michael Jackson is preparing for the big stage with an act for the 'New Kids on the Block' international reunion tour.
Is a Michael Jackson comeback in the offing? If the musical grapevine is to be believed then the 'King of Pop' is plotting a comeback with the golden oldie boy band 'New Kids on the Block' (NKOTB). The 'Thriller' man is supposed to have held secret talks with the band on a link-up at his home in Nevada last week.

New Kids' singer Donny Wahlberg said, "It’s very exciting. It's one big party and everyone wants to join us."

The band's reunion tour is planned for September. Their first in 20 years.

NKOTB was a leading pop group in the 1980s and early 1990s, belting out hits like 'Hangin' Tough', 'I'll Be Loving You' and 'The Right Stuff', taking them to sales of over 80 million records.

The group reunited in April 2008, and from all indications, their international tour is very much on. Toronto's Air Canada Centre on Sept. 18, 2008 is the planned venue for the opening. If Jacko comes on board, he will be among many who may perform in the tour.

Jackson is trying to re-establish his music career following his acquittal three years ago of child abuse charges. Although he is not a new kid on the block anymore, his act could be one of the most anticipated musical events in recent times.

This event should be worth the wait (for some).

    Come September..we can all have a laugh :) But things have come to such a pass that MJ has to hop on with NKOTB rather than the other way round. It's going to be a concert of comebacks!

    Though Micheal Jackson is odd, I don't think any one can beat his concert performance, everyone imitates his acts.

    LOL. Jacko never ceases to amaze me with the bizarre stuff he gets into.
    Do the hospital mask, rasta wig and wheelchair seem actually kind of normal for him, or is that just me?

    Lol. Yeah, I think you are probably right Chris. Like you say, I guess that over the years, we've seen him in worse ...

    Well, it came out in the media that he was under a lot of financial and psychological pressure with all the child molestation cases going on around him. Plus his illness.

    He is unique but it remains to be seen whether he is past his prime or not, but from what I know and hear he is still an icon with the latest generation just as he was with mine. Sorry...I don't know your age Chris :)

    He is bizzare in a way as most rockstars and popstars are with their eccentricities. But in Jackson's case the face mask can be explained - he is believed to have been diagnosed with vitiligo and lupus. Lupus destroys the body's auto-immune system and vitiligo causes loss of skin pigmentation.

    And the rasta wig was because of his alopecia ?

    Great article by the way, enjoyed it and the susequent banter.
