Live 8 organizer Bob Geldof told England's Sunday Times that he turned down the chance to have Jackson headline the Philadelphia debt-relief show due to the star's weakened state. "Musically he [Jackson] is a genius; humanely, I believe he is innocent," Geldof said. "But he has been through a terrible time. He's strained and tired. He needs tranquility, not to return under the spotlights in an event like this" (see "Live 8 Concerts Will Air On MTV, VH1").

During the session, a relaxed Michael grooved to his own music - PYT, Billie Jean, Human Nature - booming from a sound system and even showed off a few of his trademark dance moves. After five wardrobe changes and six hours of memorable photography, he thanked the crew and was on his way back to the hotel, just in time to put the kids to bed.

In the video game Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti, at one point in the first level (a graveyard) there is a dance floor, on which a vampire dressed in a red outfit similar to Jackson's appears. Suddenly, some zombies pop up from the ground and begin to dance along with the vampire before attacking the player. The music in this phase sounds like a short sample from the song.

Worse, Jackson increasingly got noticed less for his music and more for his drastically changing appearance or outlandish rumors that he tried to buy the Elephant Man's bones. Around this time Jackson’s disparaging nickname, Wacko Jacko, surfaced.
