Michael Jackson has told fans that his concerts in London will be his last in the capital.

The star, 50, will play ten gigs at The 02 arena from 8 July.

And he could announce up to 20 more dates. 

'These will be my final shows in London,' he revealed at a press conference held at the venue.

'This is it and when I say this is it, I mean this is it. 'I’ll be performing the songs my fans want to hear.

'This is the final curtain call. I’ll see you in July. This is it.'

Thousands of fans gathered in east London to catch a glimpse of the singer.

He arrived an hour and a half late and was on stage a matter of seconds.

He didn't give full dates, but posters on London Underground confirm he will do ten shows. 

Tickets go on general sale on 13 March.
