A hovering orb, a flaming bed, mutant spiders, 20-foot puppets, 3-D effects, pyrotechnics and the return of the crooning, spinning, moonwalking King of Pop. Michael Jackson’s farewell concert tour had every crowd-pleasing lure — but no crowds.

Fans had ponied up $85 million for 750,000 tickets to Jackson’s 50 shows at London’s O2 arena, a marathon swan song, aptly titled This Is It, that was scheduled to begin July 13. Instead, the final curtain fell Wednesday night at a rehearsal in Los Angeles’ Staples Center, where Jackson sang and danced for the last time.

Michael Jackson’s final rehearsal for his London concert tour was recorded in high definition video and audio on the eve of his death — and could be released as the King of Pop’s final album, sources said Sunday.

The rehearsals at the Staples Center in Los Angeles were taped by concert promotion company AEG Live to produce an album and DVD of what Jackson had billed his “final performance” tour called “This Is It,” according to Sharon Waxman of the Hollywood blog TheWrap.com.
