New Tussaud’s Waxwork
Madame Tussaud’s website has posted the following statement regarding a brand new figure of Michael.
‘Affirming Michael Jackson’s mega superstar status, we are celebrating the King of Pop’s ‘This is It’ comeback with a brand new figure of the music legend. It will be the tenth time we have portrayed Jackson, making him the most featured star ever, with only The Queen having been portrayed more often.
‘It is extremely unusual for a personality to have been portrayed so many times’, comments Liz Edwards, PR Manager at Madame Tussauds London. ‘But Michael Jackson is totally unique and his iconic status makes him one of the most popular stars here. He has ‘appeared’ at Madame Tussauds as Thriller Jackson, Dangerous Jackson and with the huge excitement and buzz around his upcoming return to the stage we wanted to take the opportunity to celebrate his amazing 40 year career and present the ‘This is It’ Jackson for the 21st century.’
The new figure recreates the classic Jackson pose of the new tour poster – arms outstretched, pelvis thrusting and tip toed with his trade-mark trilby angled forward – and will be revealed before the eagerly anticipated tour kicks off in July.
Jackson’s current figure was created from a sitting the singer gave to sculptors 15 years ago.’
Congratulations, Michael!
