He was in his car going for his rehearsal as he was preparing for his tour.
He said he usually doesn't answer unknown calls, but he replied that one.
He picked up a call and asked who it was, and the reply from the other side caught him off guard. The man replied Michael.
He thought someone was trying to prank him, so again asked Michael who, and the man replied Michael Jackson.
He was sure someone was messing with him, so he hung up his phone.
