Tickets for Michael Jackson's residency at London's O2 Arena this summer have sold out, despite 11 extra shows being announced.
The Thriller star announced the concerts at the former Millennium Dome last week and confirmed ten dates at the venue on Monday.
But after pre-sale tickets sold out yesterday (Tuesday March 10th), the singer announced 11 further shows, only for tickets to again be quickly snapped up.
Jackson confirmed the This Is It concerts to a crowd of hundreds at the O2 last Thursday.
"I just want to say that these will be my final shows in London," he explained.
"When I say this is it, this really means this is it.
"This is the final curtain call. I'll see you in July and I love you."
Promoter AEG Live announced gigs running from July 8th until July 28th earlier this week and this morning added shows running until September 1st.
Tickets for the shows are priced at between £50 and £75 and it is believed even more dates could be announced due to the huge demand to see the King of Pop in action.
