This was an update from a fan from yesterday!
just got home about 30 mins ago, was at the hotel since early morning. I really should be getting some sleep, but Im here updating all you guys......
anyway, got to the hotel around 11.30am. The place was full of media, tv cameras, photographers, rado, etc. Tons of producers with clipboards, tv vans reporters in suits doing links etc. Some of my friends were there, sandwiched between the tv cameras from the BBC and ITV.
Michaels car was there and also 2 security vans. It looked like something could happen at any minute.
After about an hour of this first one then the other secuirty van disappeared. Some more fans had turned up by then, so there now around 12 fans, not that many.
As the hours went by the media started getting a bit miffed that there was no action. All the photographers were perched on the wall and the hotel manager came out and asked them to get down as it private property and and its not sfe to be up there. This request was ignored!
Than a bit later when more fans turned up (there was about 20 here by now) and stated edging closer to the door and around the car, the hotel manger again came out and asked everyone to move back. Again this was ignored. Then about 10 minutes later the Police turned up and asked the photographers to come down from the wall and for everyone to move back but again no one moved.
Then one of the security cars came back. By now there was alot of people around, fans and media. We were chanting abit and making a good bit of noise.
Then a rumour went round that Michael was going to Harrods. The security car left, then Michaels car. Every one was soo confussed as it was obvious that no one had got into them. The media all disappeared and alot of the fans decided to check out Harrods as its only down the road.
I stayed at the hotel but was in phone contact with the other fans. There was no sign of him at Harrods and nothing hapening at the hotel. Very strange!! Our guess is that cos all the polite requsts to move didnt work, a false rumour was spread to act as a decoy so that everyone would just think he had left the hotel, to make everyone leave.
It was quiet for a couple of hours, most fans went to have something to eat. Very few media came back to the hotel.
from 6pm onwards alot of fans stated turning up. There was a really good atmosphere going. Music was being played, chanting, dancing in the street etc. We had some excitment when we thought that Michael was at the windows, cos lights were being turned on and off and curtains being opened but we didnt see him, so it could have been anybody.
We stayed till about 11.30pm , mostly trying to make plans for tomorrow.
Not sure waht time we are getting to The O2 in the morning, will have to see what time we wake up.
REMEMBER THIS IS FROM YESTERDAY!
