Michael Jackson
AEG Live has just released video footage of Michael Jackson's last rehearsal, which was shot just two days before his tragic death.

In the video, which was shot on June 23rd, Michael is seen rehearsing his song "They Don't Really Care About Us" with a few backup dancers for his This Is It tour.

Michael actually seemed pretty healthy as he rehearsed. He's seen doing some of his signature moves and is keeping up with the other dancers without breaking a sweat.

The morning after his death Grammy executive producer Ken Ehrlich, who was present at the rehearsal, told People, "He wasn't giving it full out. But vocally he had started to really project. I thought he was in great form."

But other eyewitnesses said the rehearsal was “the best show ever” and that Michael was thrilled about performing. Check out his final rehearsal below and tell us your thoughts!

I can not imagine what his family and children are going through! I am only a fan, and I know I myself am just devistated! Micheal was a very unique,kind, thoughful soul! awesome singer and entertainer! Michael you truly will be missed. I hope all those that did you wrong(accusations of child molesting, etc...) will come forward and speak of how their selfish thievishness attitude overtook them to take advantage you! so your Name, Soul, Family, Friends, and Fans can have peace. I know your concert(s) would have been phenomenal! Blessings, Love, Thoughts, and Prayers to ALL your family!

he doesn't look too healthy and he's very thin. and not that his moves are full of energy, he looks like a substance stimulated professional should look like

he alos had a rehersal the day before, thsio one is form the 23, he made one the 24, so i doubt very much he died of exhoaustion or els.e He died of a lethal injection of drugg he didnt wished for. He was killed and thats it. Those tapes will be used in court sure and certain.

so now we know for sure that al the rumor about him beign oh so sicka nd oh so fragile and oh so unable ot paly a concert were all fausle. he was very good, in good shape, no probnlems at all All rumors were bugos. agree this wikl have been his very best ocncerts and they look super greate too. the guy didnt jsut folow others he was simply in fornt. That one remind me of Coldplay style, but in better organised. He was talkign about politic, that was cool. Taking a new turn, again, in his musical carrier. What a shame we couldnt witnesss this and him too. form another interview of him on perez i could also hear that he was very aware and gorunded as for what his star status ment for him and his kids. And he also ahd a gf. an dint hat interview he refer ot her as being blankets mum. So now we know he had a secret gf, that she gave birth to at least one of his children, and that they dated together alweays, ins ecret and tha thsi family knew whom she was. So no more gay bf stories and no more kids abuse stories. This give a much more concrete and balanced picture of the guy.

He looked happy and seemed to be really enjoying the rehearsal. Even though he was 50 yrs. old, he still had all the moves and the great voice. R.I.P Michael. Yes, the vultures will be circling soon.

Very sad! It was like the old Michael Jackson was coming back and the last thing anyone was expecting was for him to pass away days later...

What a shame. I really looked like he was enjoying himself. He did not look like a skeleton to me. He has always been thin. RIP Michael. You will be missed.
