Michael Jackson's music reaches new heights.
Cirque du Soleil and the late King of pop's estate have teamed together to form the new show - Michael Jackson THE IMMORTAL World Tour.
Jackson's family including his three children and his mother, all attended the premiere in Canada.
Michael's brother Jackie says the union is a match made in heaven.

"Michael is a big fan of Cirque, he's seen all the Cirque shows - he loved Cirque. So if you got Cirque and Michael Jackson together, you expect to see something fantastic, and I hear it's going to be incredible."
Cirque began working on the show over two years ago, collaborating with members of Jackson's personal crew - making this the largest creative team ever assembled for a Cirque production.
Jamie King, the shows writer and director says he created the show especially for Jackson fans.

The show will travel through the U.S. until July 2012, with a lengthy stop in Las Vegas this December.
