In June 1997, Michael Jackson was in the midst of his HIStory World Tour, promoting his album "HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I," which had been released in 1995. This album is notable not only for its commercial success but also for its reflective nature, as Jackson used it to address his personal struggles and media perceptions. The live performance of "Thriller" in Munich during this tour highlights his enduring popularity and ability to captivate audiences, showcasing both his iconic dance moves and elaborate stage productions. Interestingly, the HIStory World Tour marked his return to live performances after several years of legal and personal challenges, and it became one of the most significant global tours of the 1990s, further solidifying his status as the "King of Pop."
