In her deposition, Mrs. Jackson explains why she was
surprised that son Michael agreed to do 'This Is It'.
In a video deposition played for the jury today in
Michael Jackson's wrongful death trial, mom Katherine Jackson revealed that
there was almost no chance in hell that the world would get to see his son, the
late King of Pop, perform live again. Of course, this was all before Michael
signed up for his fateful "This Is It" tour.
In her testimony, Katherine explained that the first time
she learned about her son agreeing to do the ill-fated "This Is It"
series of concerts with concert promoter AEG Live was the same way millions
around the world learned about it.

This was when Jackson made the announcement
in London from behind the podium back in 2009 just months before his death.
Although she couldn't recall who she was with at that
time she saw Michael making the announcement, she was surprised to learn that
her son would be going on a new concert tour after years of being inactive
onstage. She knew "Michael did not want to do it anymore," adding,
"He would always joke about how he did not want to be moonwalkin' when
he's 50" and that "he wants to do something else" although there
was no mention of what that new endeavor was.
According to Katherine, there was no hint from Michael at
all up until he made his tour announcement that there was still a chance he
would be performing live again soon. It had been more than a decade since
Michael last went on his HIStory World Tour in support of his second to the
last album.
