After years of living as a virtual recluse, Michael Jackson, who died Thursday, had promised a comeback of typically blockbusting proportions with 50 shows in London starting next month. Fans queued for hours to catch a glimpse of the pop star when he appeared briefly at the giant O2 venue in the British capital in March to announce a string of dates going into 2010, and tickets sold out within hours.
