The ‘Bad’ star is reported to be building up his stamina for his upcoming stage performance called ‘This Is It’ at the O2 arena in London. None other than the ex-Mr. Universe of the ‘Incredible Hulk’ fame Lou Ferrigno has been assisting Michael in his strength gaining sessions at his LA home.
Lou had agreed to help out Michael who has been ailing from skin cancer to condition him to be able to effectively carry out his killer dance moves on stage. The two apparently hit it off as buddies after Michael started working out in Lou’s gym about two years.
Michael who is waif-like, consuming only a single meal a day was worried of the aspect of weight gain might minimise his chances of recuperation from cancer. Lou seemed to have come to the rescue with an effective exercise routine that will totally gear him for his concert that is said to commence on 13th July having already been delayed by almost five days. The shows that were supposed to kick start on 10-11-12 July have been pushed back to as late as March 2010.
AEG who are the promoters of the concert have been requested by Michael to transform the place he will be renting in for the duration of the concert to be transformed to a look-alike of his Neverland estate in US. He is believed to still yearn for his former California ranch which he had to sadly part ways with due to his financial crisis. His former abode in Neverland was a whooping 2,700acre area with a cinema, zoo and fun-fair.
The concert officials were most willing to oblige to Michael who wants a bowling alley and a fun-fair, both of which Michael seems to adore. Michael has also mentioned a special request to make the manor in Kent to be made totally childproof as he will be accompanied by his under-twelve three kids during the concert who are going to totally flip out on these incredible amenities.
