The HIStory World Tour was a music tour by Michael Jackson that started September 7, 1996 in Prague and ended October 15, 1997. The HIStory tour included 82 concerts to about 4.5 million fans.
Only hours after the start of the Australian leg of the HIStory World Tour on November 14 1996, Michael Jackson married Debbie Rowe in a civil ceremony in his presidential suite at the "Sheraton On The Park" Hotel in Sydney, Australia.
The HIStory concert in Seoul, South Korea held in 1996 at "Chamsil Olympic Stadium" was filmed and was commercially released on video cassette in Asia. The Sydney leg of the concert was filmed and aired in Australia in 1997. Michael was the first dance-pop artist in history to sell out Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii. He performed two sold out shows at the 35,000-capacity venue. The HIStory World Tour had more than 4.5 million fans in attendance and therefore currently holds the title of attendance.
