@jmesk_cutpro: This was Michael Jackson’s final recorded performance rehearsal before his death in 2009. Less than 24 hours later, Michael was gone. Though only a rehearsal, his performance of “Earth Song” felt deeply emotional. Battling years of physical and personal struggles, he delivered one final message about protecting our planet, ending violence, and remembering the innocent lives affected by war. Knowing what happened the next day makes this footage even more powerful. It’s a reminder of the talent, passion, and message he left behind. #michaeljackson #thisisit #earthsong #kingofpop #neverforgotten
