CHRIS MARTIN WANTED MICHAEL JACKSON

Singer Chris Martin is desperate to get a ticket to one of pop legends Michael Jackson's comeback concerts. The Coldplay member missed out when the shows went on sale earlier this month.The rock star is a huge fan of Jackson, and was thrilled when the Pop icon announced his upcoming This Is It run at London’s O2 arena. But he was devastated after the Thriller legend’s 50-date residency sold out within hours of going on general sale, leaving Martin without a ticket to the shows. He says, "I was looking at it on the Internet and thought, ‘I’d better buy some for myself’ and I couldn’t. They were totally sold out. "To sell out like that is a testament to talent. It is just amazing to sell out 50 shows in one city in a big arena. It’s the biggest comeback since Lazarus. It’s good news - but not for me." Jackson’s gigs kick off on July 8th and will run into February 2010.
