The Bad World Tour was a music tour by Michael Jackson that started September 12, 1987 and ended January 27, 1989. The Bad tour included 123 concerts to about 4.4 million fans. The world tour was Jackson's first as a solo performer.
During the Bad concert in Sydney, Australia on November 20, 1987 Stevie Wonder made a surprise appearance on stage to perform "Just Good Friends", a duet with Jackson that appeared on the Bad album.
On March 3 1988, Michael Jackson performed a private concert at New York City's Madison Square Garden. All the proceeds were donated to the United Negro College Fund. Tickets for the show could not be purchased at ticket box offices. A special lottery system determined who was to receive tickets. During "The Way You Make Me Feel" at the same concert, Tatiana Thumbtzen (who appeared in Jackson's music video for the same song) kissed him on stage.
On September 8 1988, Michael Jackson received a special award by London's Wembley Stadium management for setting a new attendance record. Jackson performed seven sell-out concerts that were attended by 504,000 people at the venue during his Bad World Tour.
Michael performed a record breaking 14 sold-out concerts in Japan in 1987. Of these 14 concerts , 3 sold out concerts were held at the Korakuen Stadium in Tokyo, Japan (re-named the Tokyo Dome in 1988), and 9 more sold-out concerts were held in Tokyo, Japan in December 1988.
The Bad concert in Yokohama, Japan in September 1987 at Yokohama Stadium was filmed by Nippon TV and later televised in Asia.
By the end of the tour, Jackson had earned over $40 million and the tour grossed over $125 million.
