Melbourne, Aug 3 (ANI): Late King of Pop Michael Jackson loved to do mischievous things with the crew of his comeback gigs during rehearsals, reveals an Aussie guitarist who was to perform with the singer.
Orianthi “Ori” Panagaris revealed that the ‘Thriller’ hitmaker appeared relaxed, and knew what he wanted.
He also liked to involve other performers. They felt like equals.
“His microphone was left on a few times - we heard him goofing around with make-up artists and once we heard him singing in this operatic voice and laughing,” the Daily Telegraph quoted Ori as saying.
“He loved it when people were cracking jokes,” she added.
Meanwhile, Jackson is said to have been “laid to rest” by African tribes, who have worshipped the King of Pop since he visited them 17 years ago.
The Anyi people, based in Ivory Coast, crowned the star Prince Michael Amalaman Anohin to make him their king-in-waiting, and thought he was a god with magic powers who would eventually rule over them. (ANI)
