CEBU, Philippines — The Filipino inmates who shot to global fame with a YouTube video of their “Thriller” dance swayed and stomped again Saturday in a behind-bars tribute to their idol, Michael Jackson.
After being told of Jackson’s death Thursday in Los Angeles, the 1,500 inmates at the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center hit the exercise yard, practicing for nine hours Friday night — and into the wee hours of Saturday morning — for the show.
A crowd of 700 Cebuanos and foreign tourists watched the performance. Other numbers included “Ben,” “I’ll Be There” and “We Are the World.”
