It's 100 percent official, straight from the Gloved One himself!

Pop icon Michael Jackson announced today in London that he will be doing a series of concerts at the O2 Arena this summer.

In front of global press and approximately 2000 fans, Jackson declared that these concerts in July will be his "final curtain call", insinuating that he may never perform again. The vague statement officially makes the summer concert series the hottest ticket of the year.

"This is it, and when I say this is it, I really mean this is it," said the pop star, who appeared 90 minutes late to the press conference.

It is unclear whether Michael will perform here in the States, although I am sure it would be extremely desired.

The concert will be his first full-length one in 12 years; he toured last in 1996 and 1997 to support the HIStory album.

The concert series starts on Wednesday, July 8th. Tickets will begin selling on March 13th, with prices ranging from $70-$105 You can register for the pre-sale at www.michaeljacksonlive.com.
