The Bad World Tour was a tour by Michael Jackson that began in Tokyo on September 12, 1987 and ended in Los Angeles on January 27, 1989 . It was Jackson's first solo tour.
The Bad Tour included 123 concerts on four continents with around 4.4 million visitors. It was the most successful tour ever, until Jackson broke his own record with the HIStory Tour . In the summer of 1988 seven concerts at Wembley Stadium in London were sold out, with a total of 504,000 people attending these seven concerts. Jackson holds a world record to this day. The tour reportedly grossed him over $ 125 million. As with the previous Victory Tour , the official sponsor was Pepsi-Cola .
Despite the elaborate choreographies, Michael Jackson's singing, unlike on his subsequent tours, was mostly live. Only for Smooth Criminal , Man in the Mirror , Bad and The Way You Make Me Feel was partial playback used in the second part of the tour. Because Jackson's vocal cords were swollen, four concerts had to be canceled in the second part of the tour.
Setlist
In the first part of the tour, the setlist included not only songs from Michael Jackson's solo albums, but also from the Jacksons' Triumph and Destiny albums . The last two songs were the only ones from Bad , while the second part of the tour included seven songs from this album. Sheryl Crow was his duet partner in the song I Just Can't Stop Loving You , which Michael Jackson sings in the album version together with Siedah Garrett . There was also a guest appearance by Stevie Wonder on November 20, 1987 in Brisbane , with Jackson sang Bad .
