Dance video featuring Princess Diana and Michael Jackson gains viral attention once again
In July 1988, during Michael Jackson's iconic "Bad" tour concert at Wembley Stadium, an unexpected and memorable exchange took place between the King of Pop and Princess Diana.
The concert, a significant part of Jackson's 1988 "Bad" tour, was graced by the presence of Princess Diana and her partner, Prince Charles. In a show of respect, Jackson had decided to remove the song "Dirty Diana" from his setlist. However, Princess Diana, with her charisma and boldness, personally requested that he perform the song.
"Are you going to do Dirty Diana?" she asked, to which Jackson replied that he had taken it out for her. But Diana was insistent. "No, I want you to do it! Do the song!" she replied, much to the surprise of the music legend.
Jackson later revealed this exchange to Barbara Walters, describing it as the beginning of a brief but respectful friendship. The interaction that evening is now remembered as a humorous and candid moment between two icons.
According to Jackson, "Dirty Diana" is not about Princess Diana but about groupies who follow musicians, describing it as being about "certain kinds of girls that hang around concerts or clubs." This clarification put any speculation to rest.
Jackson, initially nervous to meet Diana, found her warmth and wit disarming. The meeting marked the beginning of a brief but respectful friendship between the two.
Recently, a video of this exchange between Michael Jackson and Princess Diana during the concert has resurfaced, reigniting interest in this unique moment in pop culture history. The video captures the candid and humorous nature of their interaction, offering a glimpse into the lives of two global icons.
The video clip of Michael Jackson's performance at Wembley Stadium, which resurfaced recently, highlights a humorous and candid interaction between the pop star and Princess Diana, showcasing their affinity for entertainment and pop-culture.
