Michael Jackson: Live at the Apollo was a concert by American singer Michael Jackson. The concert was performed at the Apollo Theater in New York City on April 24, 2002. The concert was a fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee and former President Bill Clinton.[1] The money collected would be used to encourage citizens to vote. It raised almost $3 million.[citation needed] Dave Navarro played guitar during the song "Black or White". This was Michael Jackson's final on-stage performance.[2]

Jackson's performance at the event has remained unavailable in its entirety. A sole video clip of "Dangerous"[3] was officially published by C-SPAN, acknowledging that copyright issues prohibit any further releases. However, a soundboard recording of the full concert leaked in 2016.[4] Other clips from the rehearsals for "Heal the World" and "Black or White" leaked in subsequent years. The latter features Dave Navarro from Jane's Addiction and Jackson's friend and choreographer, LaVelle Smith Jr.
