'I just fell in love right there,' Don West said. 'Never fell out of love since then.'

And they maintain the tradition.

'I still dance with her. She'll be laying in bed, and I say to her, "Jackie, now you and I are going to pretend we're dancing". 

'And I put my arms around her, and she grabs me right here,' he said, pointing to his shirt near the top buttons.

Don West hasn't missed a day visiting his wife and plans to spend an even longer visit with her on Christmas Day.

'We've had a great life,' he said. 'And it's still going yet.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
