The Dangerous World Tour was a music tour by Michael Jackson that started June 27, 1992 and ended November 11, 1993. The Dangerous tour included 69 concerts to about 3.5 million fans. All proceeds from the Dangerous World Tour were donated to the "Heal The World" Foundation and various other charities.
The tour was cut short due to Jackson's ailing health and the increasing allegations of child molestation. Which is the reason why many of his American fans were questioning why there were no concerts performed within the United States, as the tour was slated to conclude within various cities in the United States.
Michael Jackson sold the film rights to his Dangerous concert in Bucharest, Romania to HBO for USD 21 million. The deal was the highest ever paid for a live concert. In October 1992, when the concert aired on HBO in 61 countries, it received the highest TV ratings in the history of the network.
In 2004, the concert was released on DVD as part of Michael Jackson's Ultimate Collection boxset, and in 2005, was released as a separate DVD.
On December 31 1992, during the New Year's eve Dangerous concert in Tokyo, Slash made a special guest appearance for the song "Black or White".
