Wembley Stadium is celebrating 100 years and for the occasion, they created a celebratory poster including all the iconic stars and sport figures that have walked the stadium.
But Michael Jackson fans quickly noticed that Michael Jackson was missing for the collage poster!
A century of memories.

The collage that was posted by Wembley’s Twitter page featured many record-breaking and influential athletes, as well as stars who performed at the stadium, including Prince, Adele, Harry Styles, Taylor Swift, Paul McCartney, Ed Sheeran, Green Day, George Michael and many more.
But the disappointment can be seen in fans’ angry Tweets at Wembley for excluding Michael Jackson from the post, as his Wembley performance was memorable, and turned into a Rockumentary/Music film.
Michael Jackson broke all world records when he sold out Wembley Stadium for 7 nights in 1988.
Fans went on to create their own version of 100 years of the world’s most iconic stadium and added a huge picture of Michael Jackson in the center.
Where’s Michael Jackson? 🤔
The King of Pop gave one of the most important events in the history of Wembley Stadium and he is not in the image. I think they should have more respect for him. pic.twitter.com/Pv8j4cENbe

This morning, fans wrote hundreds of tweets directed to Wembley including Taj Jackson:
Where is Michael Jackson?
You know, the artist who broke the record at your stadium and entered into @GWR . Nice try in trying to exclude him. Luckily we will always be here to remind you. https://t.co/d4xWYxZIv8— Taj Jackson (@tajjackson3) April 30, 2023
Fans also started petitions for Wembley to either rectify or justify why they have omitted Michael. Here one of them HERE.
Should prove these accusations if they believe it. With the story and people like that, they will have a hard time if you want it to be serious and not in the gossip columns. You can tell a lot in a mockumentary on TV, but you can’t take it at face value.
Happy Birthday Wembley.
