what was the last song michael jackson sang

Michael Jackson’s last song performed in public was “Earth Song” during the final rehearsal for This Is It on June 24, 2009. Some sources also describe it as the last song he ever sang before his death.

Quick context

• “Earth Song” was performed at his final rehearsal, which is why it’s often called his last song.

• If you mean the last song he recorded , that’s usually reported as “Best of Joy”.

Why there’s confusion

People use “last song” in two different ways:

1. Last song sung/performed live : “Earth Song”.

2. Last song recorded in the studio : “Best of Joy”.

Bottom line

For the question as most people ask it, the answer is “Earth Song”.
