Jacko`s final rehearsal for O2 gigs may be released as his final album

Jackson`s final rehearsal for his London concert tour could soon be released as his final album, say sources.

New York, June 29: Late King of Pop Michael Jackson`s final rehearsal for his London concert tour could soon be releases as his final album, say sources. The final rehearsal was recorded in high definition video and audio on the eve of his death.

Sharon Waxman, of the Hollywood blog TheWrap.com, said that concert promotion company AEG Live had taped Jacko`s rehearsals at the Staples Center in Los Angeles to produce an album and DVD of his `This Is It` comeback tour in London. According to the News York Daily News, Waxman said that an AEG official boasted to a colleague: "we have a live album in the can." While Jackson did not appear at many of the scheduled rehearsals in Los Angeles, he was there for an "electric" full rehearsal on the night before his death. The rehearsal, which went on for several hours, included dancers, musicians and aerial performers. Three people close to the production revealed that the rehearsal had been captured by multiple cameras, and the audio was digitally recorded. Thus, it could be used to produce surround-sound DVD and audio products. AEG Live might lose millions due to the unexpected cancellation of Jackson`s 50-show London concert series, but potential earnings from recordings of the star``s final moments could offset some of the losses. Patrick Woodroffe, a lighting designer for the concerts, watched the final rehearsal. "We had rehearsed for the last couple weeks. We put together a complicated show, quite a spectacular show," Woodroffe told the BBC. "Of course a huge part of it was him, and I would say for the last week he hadn`t really been with us. He would appear, and he would rehearse sometimes, and he would not rehearse," he said. He added: "I guess that we were nervous whether we would be able to carry off this show at the 02." The spectacular 50-concert series at London`s 02 arena was set to begin in July. Randy Phillips, president and CEO of AEG Live, refused to comment on the issue. ANI
