Michael Jackson Rehearsal Footage Two Days Before Death

Video footage has been released of Jackson rehearsing for the London concerts that never happened. He looked energetic in the pictures taken two days before he died.The King of Pop is brimming with energy and his voice sounds strong as he performs some of his most famous hits for the final time.Jackson looked happy and even joked with his fellow dancers as he rehearsed for 90 minutes until nearly midnight, onlookers said.The video was shot on June 23 at the Staples Centre, in Los Angeles, two days before the star died of a suspected cardiac arrest.Jackson was preparing for his 50-night residency at London's O2 arena, set to begin later this month.Friend Uri Geller said the footage raised a "big question" about what prompted the star's dramatic demise."The question is: What happened from that point to the day that he died?" said Geller."In the photographs I've seen, he looked in shape, he was smiling, he was happy."What happened? That's the big question."Photographer Kevin Mazur, who captured some of Jackson's final moments at the rehearsals, said the star appeared to be back to his best and had an "incredible energy".Mr Mazur, co-founder of WireImage, told the Daily Mirror: "When he hit that stage, everyone was just mesmerised.""He was totally there - 100% there in fact. You would never suspect this would have ever happened - especially after his performance on stage."Meanwhile, Jackson's ex-wife Debbie Rowe said she would fight for custody of her two children Prince Michael, 12, and Paris Michael, 11.She told NBC Los Angeles she was prepared to undergo DNA and psychological testing in a bid to win guardianship.Ms Rowe gave up custody of her children with Jackson after the couple divorced in 1999.But there remains debate as to whether she legally signed away full parental rights in doing so.The two children are currently with Jackson's mother, Katherine, who was granted temporary custody by a Los Angeles court earlier this week.
