Michael Jackson - This Is It.....The king of pop Announces his comeback for the O2 Arena in London

The 50-year-old star made his announcement at the O2 Arena where a screaming crowd had gathered to witness the singer speak live.

"I love you so much," he said, in a brief appearance on stage.

"This is it. This is really it. It's the final curtain call, OK?

"I'll see you in July."

Immediately after the brief press conference, a statement was issued confirming Jackson would play 10 shows at the 02 arena.

Concerts promoter Rob Hallett told Sky News: "Michael wanted to do it - there was no battle with Las Vegas, this was always the plan.

"We're keeping the tickets at an affordable price: the top price will be £75, the middle price £65 and the bottom price £50.

"It's a fair price to come and see the greatest entertainer in the world."

It will be Jacko's first tour in 12 years and marks his return to the musical stage for the first time since his 2005 acquittal on child molestation charges.

Michael Jackson last visited London in 2006 for the World Music Awards, but he disappointed fans at that event by singing just a few lines of We Are The World.

Stories about his personal life, health and financial problems have dominated in recent years and the singer is selling many of the contents of his former Neverland ranch at auction in Los
