Michael-jackson-dead

With little or no fanfare, this handout photo has been released reportedly showing Michael Jackson rehearsing at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Tuesday, June 23, 2009. That's just two days before his death.

The photo was
provided by AEG to the Associated Press and Getty Images.

In addition, the Associated Press reports that Jackson had just wrapped up production on a  new video -- called "The Dome Project" -- just two weeks before his death.

The AP says it was "a five-week project filmed at Culver Studios, which 70 years ago was the set for the classic film Gone With the Wind. Four sets were constructed for Jackson's production, including a cemetery recalling his 1983 Thriller video."
