Michael Jackson embarked on The Bad Tour, and would invite terminally ill children backstage after the show for the opportunity to meet him. Seth Riggs, Michael’s vocal coach, remarked, “Every night the kids would come in on stretchers, so sick they could hardly hold their heads up. Michael would kneel down at the stretchers and put his face right down beside theirs so that he could have his picture taken with them, and then give them a copy to remember the moment.”
