Shane Cook is still in shock that he won't be seeing Michael Jackson live in London.
The Campbelltown dance teacher, who's 20, was just one of hundreds of thousands who will miss out on what was to be the ''King Of Pop's'' final tour.
Shane had tickets to Michael Jackson's third show, scheduled for July 18, and is currently living in London as part of his trip to Europe to audition for dance roles.
He told the Advertiser via facebook that Jackson's sudden death was a ''massive shock''.
"The morning after his death, walking around in London you could feel a certain sadness in the atmosphere, all the stores were playing Micheal Jackson music,'' he said.
"I was playing Micheal on my itouch. It was just a massive shock to everyone and didn't believe it.
"800,000 tickets were sold and with less than two weeks before his opening show in London it didn't seem real that he was not going to be coming.
"On Friday night in Trafalgar Square in London, they had a MJ memorial night. Hundreds of thousands of people turned out singing MJ's songs.''
Shane, who has toured with The Veronicas and danced as part of a Beyonce concert in Shanghai, said Michael Jackson was his idol.
"Just like so many other people I looked up to him a lot. During my childhood he was my idol.
"I saw him in the History tour in Sydney when I was about 10 years of age, I remember being two-years-old and dancing away in front of the telly while he was on there.
"Although Micheal Jackson is not with us anymore, his music will always remain the greatest music in our generation."
