London: King of Pop Michael Jackson is said to have been in incredible form just two days before his death.
Jacko was pictured strutting about the stage rehearsing his moves for his gigs at London's O2, which was to start next month.
In a picture taken during rehearsals, the late singer could be seen performing a high-energy routine with a 'This Is It' lighting display flashing at the back.
"Michael was in better form than for years," the Sun quoted a source, who had watched the Thriller hit maker's final rehearsal in LA, as saying.
"He was preparing for what would have been an absolutely incredible show.
"He was laughing and joking with his dancers. He seemed to have so much energy - it's hard to believe that 48 hours later he was dead," the source said.
Even photographer Kevin Mazur, who had taken the shots, was impressed by the moves.
"When he hit the stage I was thrilled that the magical Michael Jackson was back," he added.
