Quincy Jones will celebrate the three albums he produced with Michael Jackson, 'Off The Wall', 'Thriller' and 'Bad', with a live symphony orchestra at a world exclusive show in London this summer.
The iconic works will be performed back to back by a live orchestra, which Jones will be conducting alongside Jules Buckley, on June 23 at London's O2 Arena. Additionally, Jones will host and introduce the evening, which will also feature a new never-before-seen film on the making of each album in between the live performances. Special guests for the event are to be announced in due course.
Released in 1979, 1982 and 1987 respectively and featuring some of the most popular songs ever, including Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough, Beat It, Billie Jean, and Smooth Criminal, the three albums have together tallied up sales in excess of 150 million copies worldwide.
The show will take place two days before the 10th anniversary of Jackson's death, with tickets set to go on general sale at 9am on February 15, priced from £55.00 plus fees. On returning to the UK, Jones said:
"I had an absolutely beautiful time celebrating my 85th birthday with all-a-y'awl in London at The O2 last year, and I'm looking forward to doing it again this year, except this time, in honour of 'Off The Wall', 'Bad', and 'Thriller'! It's an absolute dream to present this music live, so I hope you’ll come join me for a hang-thang! It’s time to rock wit y’awl!"
