The Dangerous World Tour was a concert tour by the American pop artist Michael Jackson , which started on June 27, 1992 in Munich and ended prematurely on November 11, 1993 in Mexico . The tour included 69 concerts with approximately 3.5 million spectators. All proceeds, estimated at around $ 100 million, were donated to the "Heal The World" foundation and various other charitable causes.
The tour was canceled on allegations of child molestation against Jackson. Furthermore, he was in poor health at parts of the concerts. The cancellation of the third leg of the tour meant that it never reached the USA - Jackson's homeland.
Michael Jackson sold the film rights to his concert in Bucharest ( Romania ) to HBO for 21 million US dollars. The deal was the highest amount ever paid for a live concert. In October 1992, when the concert was broadcast on HBO in 61 countries, it achieved the highest audience rating in the history of the TV station.
In 2004 the concert was released on DVD as part of the Ultimate Collection and in 2005 separately.
On December 31, 1992, during the New Year's Eve concert in Tokyo , Slash had a special guest appearance for the song " Black or White ".
20 trucks were needed to transport the stage equipment . It took three days to build.
Most of the '92 Legs concerts ended with a stuntman flying out of the arena with a rocket backpack as Michael Jackson. When it was gone, an announcer said, "Michael Jackson has left the stadium" and the concert ended with no encores. The stuntman was Kinnie Gibson . Gibson reportedly charged a total of $ 1 million to perform these stunts. Remember the Time and Rock With You were meant to be played, but were canceled for unknown reasons.

Trivia
- On September 16, 1992 in Toulouse, the band played an almost 2-minute instrumental from the song In the Closet . This was the only time the song was played.
- Beat It and Working Day and Night were played for the last time at the 1992 Tokyo shows . They were removed from the set list in the South America Leg.
- Michael Jackson wore different jackets and / or shirts at the shows in Tokyo during the song Heal the World . For example, Jackson's video recordings are circulating on the Internet as he sang the said song with a red shirt. This can be seen as a tribute to the Bad World Tour, as Jackson also experimented with various alternative costumes at the opening concerts in Tokyo.
