2000<\/h3>\n<p>Thanks to Wayne Nagin and his brother, Skip \u2013 who were Michael Jackson\u2019s bodyguards at the time \u2013 Ben Jack\u2019son was given the opportunity to conduct an exclusive interview in Geneva, after waiting for three days.<\/p>\n<p>Ben was able to pass on his videos, photos and a personal letter to Michael via his bodyguards.<\/p>\n<p>On the third day, Michael Jackson left his hotel. Out of respect for his privacy, Ben chose not to photograph him at that moment, as he was accompanied by his children, Prince and Paris \u2013 whom he was shielding at the time with masks over their faces to protect them from the paparazzi.<\/p>\n<p>At that time, Michael\u2019s entourage consisted of his bodyguards Wayne Nagin and his brother Skip, his driver, and his personal assistant, Grace Rwaramba. Eventually, Michael\u2019s security team allowed a photo to be taken from a distance as he discreetly left the hotel via the kitchens at the rear of the building.<\/p>\n<p>A few minutes later, Ben walked up to Michael Jackson\u2019s van and followed it for about a hundred metres to the traffic lights. Ben not only managed to wave him off, but he also managed to make him laugh!<\/p>\n<p>On the pavement, he was discreetly performing a few dance steps, without attracting the attention of passers-by. At that very moment, and incredibly, no one around him could have imagined that Michael Jackson was in that black van right in the heart of Geneva. .<\/p>\n<p>There were perhaps four or five people in the vicinity of the hotel at that moment, and they realised it was Michael Jackson!<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the bodyguards had to ensure the trip remained confidential, so it was, unfortunately, impossible for the car to stop, even just to sign an autograph.<\/p>\n<p>In the reflection in the van\u2019s windows, you can actually see Ben waving to Michael Jackson.<\/p>\n<p>Photo credit: Ben Jack'son \u2013 H\u00f4tel d\u2019Angleterre \u2013 Geneva \u2013 10 June 2000 \u2013 3.42 pm. .<\/p>\n<p>Years later, in 2015, Ben was able to discover the next part occupied by Michael Jackson and his entourage.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bj-ref-modal-media\">\n<div class=\"bj-ref-child-gallery-item\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" data-id=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ben-jackson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/meetingmjbig-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ben-jackson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/meetingmjbig-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ben-jackson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/meetingmjbig-1-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bj-ref-child-gallery-item\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"990\" height=\"693\" data-id=\"328\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ben-jackson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ben-jackson-michael-jackson-geneva-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ben-jackson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ben-jackson-michael-jackson-geneva-1.png 990w, https:\/\/www.ben-jackson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ben-jackson-michael-jackson-geneva-1-300x210.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ben-jackson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ben-jackson-michael-jackson-geneva-1-768x538.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 990px) 100vw, 990px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bj-ref-child-gallery-item\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"626\" height=\"607\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ben-jackson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/hotel-angleterre-michael-jackson3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ben-jackson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/hotel-angleterre-michael-jackson3.png 626w, https:\/\/www.ben-jackson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/hotel-angleterre-michael-jackson3-300x291.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bj-ref-modal\" id=\"bj-ref-modal-4\" role=\"dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"bj-ref-modal-4-title\" hidden>\n<div class=\"bj-ref-modal-backdrop\" data-bj-ref-close><\/div>\n<article class=\"bj-ref-modal-dialog\"><button class=\"bj-ref-modal-close\" type=\"button\" data-bj-ref-close aria-label=\"Close the popup\">\u00d7<\/button><\/p>\n<p class=\"bj-ref-eyebrow\">Reference<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"bj-ref-modal-4-title\">Sony event to mark the release of the album *HIStory* on 14 June 1995<\/h3>\n<p>At the invitation of the Sony France team, the album\u2019s preview event took place at the Eden Rock in Lyon, attended by journalists, artists and staff from Sony France in Paris.
