After a showbiz divorce, shocker pregnancy announcement and quickie marriage in Australia; heading into 1997, Michael Jackson was seemingly focusing more on family than fame as he embarked on the European leg of his HIStory World Tour.

Pandemonium followed the King of Pop where ever he went as critics seriously questioned whether his stardom was finally waning after the disappointing release of 'Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix', an album that categorically bombed critically and at the cash tills. After so many years of intense scrutiny under the spotlight without his periodic breaks and with another child on the way, the superstar appeared to be preparing for a quieter, more home-centred existence away from the treacherous paths of super-fame.
