Here is Michael in 1981 holding Queen on the front page, two of the greatest forces in music history

Between 1977 and 1982, Michael regularly attended Queen's concerts whenever they played at The Forum in Los Angeles. He would hang out backstage with the band, and when Rolling Stone reporters spotted him at a show and asked if he was a fan of Queen, Michael famously replied, "I'm a Freddie Mercury fan."

The Munich bridge collapse that was a major turning point for his health forever

“During the Michael Jackson & Friends benefit concert in Munich on June 27, 1999, a severe mechanical failure caused a heavy steel section of the suspended bridge to collapse, plunging Jackson roughly 50 feet into the stage pit. Remarkably, his immediate response was to climb out of the wreckage and finish the performance of "Earth Song" before collapsing backstage and being rushed to Rechts der Isar Hospital. While the immediate diagnosis included a damaged spine, an ankle sprain, and minor pyrotechnic burns, the structural impact left him with permanent spinal trauma. This incident changed his physical health for the rest of his life, this specific accident can be traced as a direct catalyst to his eventual passing in 2009”
