Michael Jackson - 'Earth Song' Accident ('MJ & Friends', Munich, 1999)

Il 27 Giugno 1999, Michael Jackson mette in scena la seconda tappa del suo "MJ & Friends" a Monaco, Germania.
Durante la performance di "Earth Song", a causa di un problema tecnico, crollerà la parte centrale del ponte sul quale si stava esibendo il Re del Pop, che precipiterà a terra in un tonfo assordante.
Da grande professionista, nonostante lo spavento e i danni fisici subiti, Michael riuscirà a portare a termine la sua esibizione, come potete vedere nel video.

He collapsed the moment he went backstage. Yet with a shattered back, he climbs back up, keeps dancing, like nothing happened. NOBODY could do that. He was super human

[masakalan]

He said that he continued because there was a small voice of his father in his head saying “dont dissapoint me” or something like that🥺😖

It was a terrible accident and still Michael NEVER stopped! He loved the fans very much! Love u Michael!

[therestorationofdrwho]

You can sort of see the pain in the way he looks around and what not. Surprised he didn’t even try to get off the bridge, may have been a part of shock even.

Michael: **falls 50 feet and continues to perform**
Bieber: **leaves becomes someone threw water at him**

This proves Michael was superior to any artist today and ever

[hippopotamus]

He cared so much about his fans. He didn’t give a crap of what happened to him. This is the true definition of dedication.

I can see that he was shock and in pain..😢 i never regret that i fell in love with this superhuman yet a superstar.

[abenajackson]

Such a PERFECTIONIST, even in pain he NEVER gave up until he was through with the show. 1:19 and 2:02 shows how hurt and in pain he was but for love for his fans and professionalism, he continued with the show. 2:12 you can also see him trying to walk in pain but he finished it with dignity and his head held high. #MuchrespectMJ

In closer detail, the reason he could keep performing was mostly shock. His adrenaline probably was decently raised from the performance, and then rocketed from the fall before hitting the ground. Though he most likely got the wind knocked out of him, and to keep singing like nothing happened is astonishing. He definitely felt it later though. I know this because I fell of a zip line once

This wasn't just an accident, this was a SERIOUS injury. According to 'My Friend Michael', a book written by MJ's friend(Frank Cascio) who was at that time with him at the tour, after the show he was taken to the hospital and was in so much pain, he could barely breathe. Due to this injury, he had to rely on painkillers almost for the rest of his life, as well as other medicines to help him sleep. From that night, his doctors started using propofol, which caused his death ten years later.

It's 2020 and watching how passionate and professional Michael is.

He’s so handsome I just want to give them a hug

[johanaismael]

My respect for this legend is beyond the sky! He gave his every energy despite the pain he was carrying. Such dedication. You will always be remembered MJ. 😭😭😭

[melodyal]

No one wouldn't have walked after this fall, Michael just jumps on stage and keep giving through pain the best performance audience will ever see. It's incredible, how he could walk let alone finish the show, I cannot understand. But I do understand one thing: this Legend was made of something else.

[honeywiny]

You can see his in pain but he never stop, he want to give a fans a beautiful show, , , I Love You my LEGENDARY KING OF POP I’m so proud of you are so strong and brave...how I wish media, tabloids and all people who criticize you will see you have good heart, and a good person..

[sirel]

The fact he was able to continue even through all the pain He is a legend then and now forever.

[thisizdub]

Dude is a savage. Just had a serious back injury and kept performing. This same back issue caused him to not be able to move as much while rehearsing for this is it.
He's on a different level than most
