The late King of Pope received an unique tribute as a group of Michael Jackson fans in Leicester attempted a world record for the most number of people dancing to the singer's 'Thriller' in one place on his 51st birthday. Michael Jackson's 475 fans dressed as zombies packed into Orton Square participate in the event.

The current record is held by 242 dancers, who performed in Virginia in April this year. The mass dance was planned in April, two months before Michael Jackson died on June 25.

Michael Jackson's death made the fans more determined for the event. The mood has been vibrant throughout.

While most dancers learnt the routine during free lessons at dance studios around Leicester, others practiced the moves using tutorial videos posted online. Although the even ran smoothly, its organizers are still waiting an official declaration from a Guinness World Record representative that the new record has been made.
