The final meal, last rehearsal & desperate plea for the drug he called “milk.”

Michael Jackson was weeks away from a series of comeback concerts at the O2 Arena in London and was in rehearsals the night he tragically passed away at the age of 50 – shocking millions of fans around the world – on June 25, 2009.

Now, as fans gear up to mark the 17th anniversary of his passing on June 25, THE VAULT can reveal the blow-by-brutal-blow account of his final drug-addled hours.
