Fans’ midnight dash for Michael Jackson DVD
Got to be there: fans pack the HMV store in Oxford Street for the launch of the This Is It DVD
12 April 2012
About 500 fans crammed into the HMV store at the stroke of midnight for the release of Michael Jackson's This Is It DVD.
They were also treated to a dance routine led by Travis Payne, the choreographer for the singer's last planned concerts, which were to have taken place at the O2 arena.
Jackson died 18 days before the first of the 50 dates. The film, showing the rehearsals and preparation for the show, is the highest grossing concert documentary ever.
