November 22-24, 2019 in Madrid Vincent Paterson.
Vincent Paterson was Michael Jackson's collaborator for many years. Dancer and choreographer.
1982 - The story book album for "E.T.: The Extraterrestrial" was released. It contained narration and a new song from Michael Jackson.
They spent days together working on new music at Jackson's home studio in Encino, California, in 1983, and developed a close friendship.
Freddie's personal assistant, Peter'Phoebe' Freestone, was there to witness all this.
Peter worked for Queen and Freddie for 12 years until the musician's death in 1991.
Peter told Metro.co.uk: "It was 1983, and Freddie and Michael collaborated on three different titles at that time.
But Michael didn't treat me any differently from Freddie. That's how people are. "Michael and I played video games for half an hour while Freddie was smoking outside.
According to Peter, Michael then took him and Freddie around the house on Hayvenhurst Avenue in Encino.
When they came up, Freddie couldn't believe his eyes when he saw a mattress in the middle of the floor of the pop king's million-dollar mansion. Freddie couldn't keep his mouth shut because in the middle of the floor, this big mattress was made like a bed," Peter recalls. Freddie said, "You have money, why don't you buy a bed?" And Michael just said, "I feel so much better when I'm closer to Earth.
Freddie said, "Well, how close does not having a bed bring you? We're upstairs." Peter added, "This is the kind of thing that happened.

It's home to over three million species of plants and animals, as well as one million indigenous people, but the Amazon rainforest is currently experiencing the worst wildfires ever seen.
According to the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) 72,843 forest fires have been detected in the country so far – with 9,507 spotted in the last week.
Overall, the total fire activity in the Amazons and Rondonia has been well above average, compared to the previous 15 years, according to the Global Fire Emissions Database.
In 1995, Michael Jackson released a song called “Earth Song” which was the first that overtly dealt with the Environment and animal welfare and ever since, the song was performed on tour and special performances and was also due to be performed on “THIS IS IT” with a bigger and bolder message!
In “THIS IS IT”, Michael said he wanted to world to know and pass the message to the masses that humanity has to act now before it is too late! He specifically spoke about the Amazon Rainforest and warned us about the consequences.
“I respect the secrets and magic of nature. That's why it makes me so angry when I see these things that are happening, that every second, I hear, the size of a football field is torn down in the Amazon. I mean, that kind of stuff really bothers me. That's why I write these kinds of songs, you know. It gives some sense of awareness and awakening and hope to people. I love the Planet, I love the trees. I have this thing for trees – the colors and changing of leaves. I love it. I respect those kind of things. I really feel that nature is trying so hard to compensate for man's mismanagement of the planet. Because the planet is sick, like a fever. If we don't fix it now, it's at the point of no return. This is our last chance to fix this problem that we have, where it's like a runway train. And the times has come, This Is It. People are always saying: ‘They'll take care of it. The government'll–Don't worry, they'll–‘ ‘They' who? It starts with us. It's us. Or else it'll never be done… We have four years to get it right. After that it would be irreversible. Let's take care of the planet.”
Michael Jackson, This Is It rehearsals, 2009
The time has come! The lungs of the Earth is burning! Millions of species are endangered!
The world is watching but our governments are doing nothing! Greed and profitability are maybe (or maybe for sure) the causes of those fires and Michael Jackson told us about is over 20 years ago but no one listened! (except his fans of course)
Is it too late to act? Only the next couple of weeks will tell! But maybe it is time to listen to Michael Jackson's Earth Song! Maybe it is time to look at all those issues mentioned in the song!
The world needs to act now! We all have to play our part to make Earth, our home, a better place for all, including animals and plants.
Cats Don't Dance
In 1993 Michael would have agreed to lend his voice to a character from David Kirschner's animated film Cats Don't Dance, produced by Warner Bros. The half cartoon, half film project would feature comic reproductions of 1930s movie actors who, from time to time, would quote some of their mythical sentences. Michael was to produce the film, scheduled for 1996, but was also to be its star and consultant for music and choreography.
Michael on the project from all points of view: the script, the drawings, the ideas for the characters. He put all his heart and soul into this project.
The characters of the Looney Tunes were planned for the film. They will be used... but for the film Space Jam, with the basketball player Michael Jordan, directed by Joe Pytka in 1996.
The film will finally take place without the commitment of Michael Jackson who faces false accusations that year.
It was released in 1997, under the name Dany the Superstar Cat e. The story of this cat Danny, who at the end of the 1930s, left his home town of Indiana to find success in Hollywood.

In a world filled with hate, we must still have to HOPE.
In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to COMFORT.
In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to DREAM.
In a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to BELIEVE.
