Footage of Michael Jackson in rehearsals for his London comeback shows has been released by promoters AEG Live. Shot less than two days before the King of Pop's death last week, Jackson appears thin but in good form as he performs "They Don't Care About Us" with his backing dancers during a full dress rehearsal.

The pop superstar, wearing a dark suit and red patterned shirt, sounds great and AEG bosses insist Jackson is singing live in the minute-long video footage, taken at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Fans, family and friends will get the chance to bid farewell to Jackson at the venue next Tuesday, when a memorial takes place at the Staples Center.

The This Is It dates, which Jackson was rehearsing for, were scheduled to begin at London's 02 Arena later this month.
