A top Australian band, Human Nature, revealed they got their big break from the late Michael Jackson.
Jackson booked the group in 1997 for his HIStory tour, starting the multi-platinum-record band off on the road to success. Earlier this year, Jackson put in a good word for them with a friend and tour promoter.
Andrew Tierney of Human Nature told RadarOnline exclusively, “Touring as opening act for Michael Jackson on his last world tour was an incredible break for us.”
He continued: “We learned so much from seeing him perform that many times and experienced things that have shaped us into the entertainers we are today. He was the ultimate artist and so inspiring.”
Jackson gave the nod to the band when his good friend Smokey Robinson talked of bringing them to the US, allowing the endorsement “Human Nature is Amazing – Michael Jackson.”
Robinson has booked the band on a long-running engagement in Las Vegas under his banner. The band members were in Vegas when they learned of the singer’s sudden tragic death.
