Jacko 'adds 10 more dates to comeback tour'

London, Mar 7 (ANI): King of pop Michael Jackson has added 10 more dates to his comeback gig in London, it has emerged.

The extra dates, in addition to the 10 already confirmed by the singer recently, will be announced to fans soon, according to reports.

The move came after nearly a million people registered for tickets to fill the 20,000-capacity O2 arena at the former Millennium Dome.

According to reports, the website to register for pre-sale tickets is reporting 14,000 hits a minute.

"There is no question Jackson has still got what it takes. The fact that he has been away for so long has only added to the clamour for tickets," the Mirror quoted a source as saying.

Meanwhile friend and business manager Dr Tohme Tohme has spoken about the star's planned comeback.

"He has come back to put an end to all the bulls**t rumours about his health. I think he has answered his critics," he said.

"He is back to his old self - he's fine, and couldn't be in better shape. He was away for all this time because he was dedicating his life to his children and being a single parent. This is the reason he took a break from music.

"It was his idea to make a comeback because he misses his fans and his fans have missed him," he added. (ANI)
