A MICHAEL Jackson impersonator who is so convincing he once earned a standing ovation from Jacko himself is on stage in Clacton tonight.
Look-alike Navi often acted as a decoy coming out of hotels to distract waiting fans and the paparazzi while the late megastar quietly slipped out the back.
Navi's career highlight came in 2003 when he was invited to perform at Jackson’s 45th birthday parties in Los Angeles and New York.
The pop idol gave him the thumbs-up in an incredible moment for Navi.
He has since performed in almost 60 countries and is now back in the UK for a national theatre tour with his incredible live band and dancers, recreates all the classics from early Jackson Five songs to mega-hits such as Thriller and Smooth Criminal.
- Navi has Michael Jackson's seal of approval
