Michael Jackson to thrill with tour?

People are talking about Michael Jackson, and it’s not because of a scandal at Neverland Ranch. The new word is Jackson may be planning a tour, backed by producer/rapper Swizz Beatz.

“I'm working on this new Michael Jackson sh--," Swizz told MTV.com. "I'm probably gonna be producing his tour and everything.”

MJ has not released a statement about the rumored tour, nor have any dates been released. Thriller 25th Anniversary, Jackson's last album, was released in February of this year by MJJ productions.

The last time Jackson toured was more than 10 years ago during the aptly named HIStory Tour, divided into two legs running from September 1996 to October 1997. The HIStory Tour included 82 shows in 58 cities in 35 countries.

Anyone who would miss a Michael Jackson concert has GOT TO BE the reason that mental homes were invented.

DAMN! IF MICHAEL TOURED AGAIN!.. I would be so excited! Course I would go! People who wouldn't want to go are just NUTS. If He DOES tour again.. I hope he'll tour the USA.

zomg!

There in an INSTANT... assuming I don't have to shell out hundreds or thousands! He does need the money if I'm not mistaken, and it wouldn't surprise me too much...

I hope Michael tours! I think it would boost his confidence if he saw how much his fans love him. He's so lonely and afraid of not being accepted right now, he just needs to see that he's loved a LOT more than the media likes to let on.

I'm backing you Mike, 100%!

I hope he will bring his brothers too> It would be a shame if the Jackson 5 didn't reunite.
