In the days just before his death, Michael Jackson was working harder than he ever had in hopes of staging “the greatest onyesha on Earth” according to our latest cover story.
Claire Hoffman retraced the pop icon’s final moments for “The Last Days of Michael Jackson” in the latest issue of Rolling Stone, and found that Jackson was well aware of how the public came to perceive him in hivi karibuni years and that he had fully dedicated himself to a comeback tour that he hoped would erase that perception.
“He wanted people to see his work and not just talk about his lifestyle,” AEG CEO Randy Phillips tells Hoffman in her cover story.
He was also eager to finally clean up his finances and settle down in Las Vegas. “He was ready to stop living like a vagabond and settle down and earn money again,” Phillips tells Rolling Stone.
And those who were inside his final rehearsals say that the onyesha he was prepared to mount may have actually succeeded on all fronts.
“He was so brilliant on stage,” tour director Kenny Ortega tells Hoffman. “I had goose, bata bukini bumps.”
“I turned to somebody and said, ‘This is amazing,’” adds Ken Ehrlich, the longtime Grammy Awards producer who sat in on rehearsals. “For so many years I have watched Chris Brown and Justin Timberlake and Usher and the Backstreet Boys and En Vogue all imitate Michael Jackson — and now here we were this many years later, and he was going to do it again. I got chills, literally. The hairs on the back of my neck were raised. Those are the moments wewe hope for.”
Claire Hoffman’s “The Last Days of Michael Jackson” can be found in Issue 1084, on newsstands now, and wewe can get the story behind her cover story in our exclusive video.

In the morning
When she says hello to the world
Got to be there, got to be there
Bring her good times
And onyesha her that she's my girl
Oh what a feeling there'll be
The moment I know she loves me
'Cause when I look in her eyes I realize
I need her sharing her world beside me
So I've got to be there
Got to be there in the morning
And welcome her into my world
And onyesha her that she is my girl
When she says, "Hello world!"
I need her sharing the world beside me
That's why I've got to be there
Got to be there where upendo begins
And that's everywhere she goes
I've got to be there so she knows
That when she's with me, she's nyumbani
Got to be there
Got to be there

She's out of my life
She's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh au cry
I don't know whether to live au die
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
To think for two years she was here
And I took her for granted I was so cavalier
Now the way that it stands
She's out of my hands
So I've learned that love's not possession
And I've learned that upendo won't wait
Now I've learned that upendo needs expression
But I learned too late
And she's out of my life
She's out of my life
Damned indecision and cursed pride
I kept my upendo for her locked deep inside
And It cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
Ooo
