Federer tells his Michael Jackson story


Roger Federer has joined in tributes to popstar Michael Jackson, recalling as a child he stood outside the hall at a concert held by the entertainer when he once came to Switzerland two decades ago.

"Back maybe in 1988 or 1989, he came to Basel", said the five-time Wimbledon winner. "I was outside of the stadium, because there was such excitement that he would come".

"I was still very young", said the 27-year-old. "I think I went there with my sister, and we just listened from the outside. I've always listened to his music".

"Obviously, I love his music. It's a very sad moment in the music world. He touched many people, same for me. But I'll obviously still listen to his music for many more years to come".
