(Newser) – Michael Jackson will debut a new dance move for his upcoming London tour dates, his manager tells the Telegraph. It will be "something like the Moonwalk, but different," vowed Randy Phillips, the marketing genius behind the reclusive pop star's return to the stage. No insurer has agreed to back the new shows, but Phillips said he isn't worried about the risk.

I agree with you to a certain extent mainly because I really do remember him for the music. For some reason I don't think about the bad parts of his life until someone else brings it up. Call me biased I guess.
