Michael Jackson announced he would play at The 02 during a press conference

Michael Jackson has extended his ten night-run at London's 02 arena.

The popstar added 18 more shows after tickets sold out in minutes.

Phone lines jammed and websites crashed as 1.5million people tried to buy online.

Tickets were later being flogged for up to £2,500 on internet sites.

It’s thought Michael, 50, will pocket £35million from the tour, which kicks off on 8 July.
