    Michael Jackson fan Mohammed Rizwan, 26, from Stratford, east London, sits at a makeshift shrine for Michael Jackson, outside the O2 arena in London, Tuesday, June 30, 2009, where he was scheduled to play 50 shows from July 2009. Now that the reality of Michael Jackson's death has sunk in, some Londoners are assessing the economic impact of his sudden departure and they don't like what they see. The demise of the pop legend means the cancellation of 50 planned shows at London's 23,000 seat 02 Arena, which was sold out for the long anticipated Jackson run. Some replacement events will be scheduled in their place, but the loss of the superstar means lots of empty hotel rooms, half-filled restaurants, and quiet nightclubs. (AP Photo/Lefteris Pitarakis)
