Michael Jackson tribute show in Philippine jail

Some of Michael Jackson’s most devoted fans made a special tribute to the star over the weekend - from behind bars.

After being told of Jackson’s death, the 1,500 inmates at the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Centre in the Philippines hit the exercise yard, practising for nine hours for a special tribute show before an audience of 700.

A YouTube video of inmates dancing to Jackson’s hit Thriller attracted 24.3 million hits since it was posted two years ago.
