Bev Bevan : the day I met Michael Jackson
I recall the day I met Michael Jackson backstage in America.
He came to see ELO when we played in Los Angeles back in 1978.
He was ushered backstage and came to shake hands with us all.
He seemed cheerful but rather shy, and there wasn't any conversation between us.
But I was told that he liked our music, and that was quite a compliment.
The news of his death came as a great shock, even though he had looked frail in recent times.
I was a huge fan of his music during the late 1970s and 1980s. He was brilliant then.
I went to see him in concert at Wembley Stadium - I think it was on the Bad tour - and it was one of the best shows I had ever seen.
As a live performer he was fantastic. He was the best dancer on the planet, too.
It's best that we all remember him that way than for all the personal problems he faced.

I think the Jackson's "Can You Feel It" released in 1980 has some ELO influences.
Michael Jackson is King.
