Switzerland

June 16, 1988- Basel, Switzerland: This amazing concert was attended by the greats Elizabeth Taylor and Bob Dylan. While in Basel, Jackson met with Oona O'Neill, the widow of Charlie Chaplin, one of Jackson's all-time heroes when he was young, and throughout his life. The two concerts in Gothenburg, Sweden on June 11 and June 12, 1988 were scheduled at the Ullevi Stadium but sadly it was under repair. Instead the concert was held at Gothenburg's shipyard in Eriksberg. Many names were given to Jackson, in Asia and also while touring in Europe, Jackson would be given the names "The Earl of Whirl" and "The Peter Pan of Pop."
