Obviously this would have negated Jacko, The Fabs, Freddie & Bruce in one swoop.
TJT tour played to 550,000 people. A combination of stadiums and arena's around the country. Giving the fans a mixture of choice.
There is no doubt they would have sold out 10 nights. This would be amazing & unprecedented even in 2024. In 1987 it would be headline news.
The UK shows were between 2nd June - 8th August. Maybe they may have preferred 10 shows in 20 days in one location. A shorter timespan.
However they did not take up a residency anywhere until 2023. So obviously preferred going to the fans.
Wonder if they regret not making history that would never be eclipsed.
