As seen on page 93 of my book “Humanitarian – The Real Michael Jackson,” in November of 1996, Michael Jackson visited Melbourne, Australia on his HIStory tour and arranged for busloads of sick patients from The Royal Children's Hospital” to visit him at his hotel and attend his concerts free of charge. Cystic Fibrosis sufferer Raphael Recht was a lucky fan that got to dance for Michael, go backstage and spend time with Michael and his entourage while in Melbourne. In this episode, Raph tells an amazing story about Michael asking him to go on tour and gifting him the first ever PlayStation in Australia.
