Jackson began his European tour in Rome at the Flaminio Stadium on May 23, 1988. Police and security guards rescued hundreds of fans from being crushed in the crowd of 30,000. Police reported 130 women fainted at the concert in Vienna on June 2. On June 17, Jackson travelled to the town of Vevey to meet Oona O'Neill, the widow of comic actor Charlie Chaplin. "I have fulfilled my biggest childhood dream", said Jackson after the visit. The most successful of the European dates were those in London at Wembley Stadium. Ticket demand for the five July dates exceeded 1.5 million, enough to fill the 72,000 capacity venue 20 times. Jackson performed seven sold out shows, beating the previous record held by Madonna, Bruce Springsteen and Genesis. More shows could have been added, but the venue had reached its quota for live performances. The third concert on July 16 was attended by Diana, Princess of Wales and Prince Charles. On September 8, Jackson was entered into the Guinness World Records, the first of three times from the tour alone. The Wembley shows were attended by a record 504,000 people. Management also presented him with a special award. On July 30, NBC aired Michael Jackson Around the World, a 90-minute special documenting the singer on tour. On August 29, after a birthday performance in Leeds, Jackson donated $130,000 to Give For Life. The final European show was held in Liverpool on September 11, staged at Aintree Racecourse. 1,550 fans were reported injured among the crowd of 125,000.

Live at Wembley Live at Wembley 7.16.1988 features Michael Jackson performing at the storied London venue during his Bad world tour. This is the late pop icon's third live performance to be released on DVD and first full-length concert taken from the second leg of the Bad tour. Jackson performed in front of a crowd of roughly 72,000 that famously included Prince Charles and Princess Diana in attendance. Rumor persisted that Jackson cut the song "Dirty Diana" from the set list for fear of disrespecting the Princess of Wales. However, legend has it that she informed Jackson that it was her favorite song. Regardless of the rumor, the song is featured here, as are many from Bad and other Jackson albums, including "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'," "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" (featuring Sheryl Crow, who was touring as a backup singer at the time), "Rock with You," "Smooth Criminal," "Thriller," and many more.
