Facts
-The Bad World Tour spanned the globe with stops in 15 countries, on 4 continents, and included 123 concerts to about 4.4 million loving fans.
-The Bad tour is Michael Jackson's first ever solo tour.
-Michael's 1987-1989 `Bad' World Tour is the largest tour in history! This tour is also the highest grossing concert tour ever, grossing over us $125 million, more than any other entertainer has ever grossed on a single tour!
-One `Bad' concert in Yokohama, Japan in September 1987 was recorded by Nippon TV and later televised in many countries.
-During the Bad tour stop in Sydney, Australia on November 20, 1987 Stevie Wonder made a surprise on stage. Michael and Stevie performed `Just Good Friends' live as a special treat for the lucky fans.
-On March 3, 1988 Michael performed a ``private'' concert at New York's Madison Square Garden. All proceeds were donated to the United Negro Fund. Tickets for the show could not be purchased at ticket box offices.
-A special lottery system determined who was to receive tickets. During the show, Michael hit the headlines for kissing Tatiana Thumbtzen on stage during a great performance of `The Way You Make Me Feel'.
-On September 8, 1988 Michael received a special award by London's Wembley Stadium management for setting a new record for playing more dates at Wembley Stadium than any other artist! His sell-out 7 shows were attended by 504,000 people. A distinction that earned him another entry in the Guinness Book of World Records.
