Receiving the invitation to perform with MJ, Link was initially excited and thrilled.
MJ is the King of Pop, the most successful and influential singer in the history of world pop music, with over a billion fans worldwide. Even at the peak of stars like Britney, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, and Zhou, they couldn't compare to him.
Being invited to his concert to sing was even more praiseworthy than winning a Grammy Award.
However, after the phone call, he gradually calmed down.
The main purpose of MJ's invitation to his concert was certainly to mitigate the impact of this issue and mend the rift between his and Kanye's fanbases, not because he sang well enough.
Moreover, he remembered that MJ had passed away this year, but he didn't know when or why, and even if he did, it wouldn't help since he was not a doctor and couldn't treat him.
If MJ passed away before the concert began, the invitation would just be a bounced check, so there was no need to get too excited.
