Everything has an end! Even if we don’t like it! For 3 Years, The Estate of Michael Jackson and Cirque du Soleil has given us a magnificent Tour in memory of Michael Jackson: The Immortal Tour!
What a journey! Across the globe (426 shows!), fans enjoyed the music, the dance, the Acrobats, the mimes and of course Michael Jackson!
