據法新社報道，流行樂天王邁克爾·傑克遜（Michael Jackson）的陳年秘辛，又添一樁，東德秘密員警檔最近披露，1988年傑克遜到西德開唱，當時柏林圍墻還沒倒塌，東德歌迷想看無法看，差點引發暴動，邁克爾·傑克遜還因此被寫入東德秘警的機密檔案，可以想見當時這位天王的魅力。
據銷路廣大的德國《圖畫報》（Bild）報導，邁克爾·傑克遜曾被前東德國家安全部（Stasi）秘密員警列入檔案，因為他1988年在柏林墻旁舉行演唱會。
東德秘密員警擔心，年輕人會企圖闖過柏林市中心布蘭登堡門附近的禁區，以設法盡量接近柏林墻並聆聽演唱會。
《圖畫報》引述1988年5月4日的東德秘密員警檔案說，“某些年輕人計劃和員警對抗”，其中還指出一些人的姓名。秘密員警最害怕的是，天王魅力一不小心會引起歌迷暴動。德國歷史學家易可沙夏說：“秘密員警最大的恐懼是，這些歌迷會因此找到理由來反抗東德政府。”
為防此事發生，秘密員警計劃舉辦“牽制性演唱會”，以阻擋人潮。其構想是，藉此將年輕人吸引到距圍墻較遠的東柏林1座體育館，而在當地舉辦的演唱會將以兩分鐘的間隔在大型熒幕上播放。
如果東德當局受到西方一絲“政治挑釁”，熒幕上的播放內容將換成邁克爾·傑克遜的舊演唱會錄影。
但這項計劃並未實施，東德秘密員警仍依照慣例，在傑克遜演唱會6月19日進行時，出動警員強力驅散試圖接近圍墻的民眾。
易可沙夏說：“這份從1988年6月紀錄的文件顯示，傑克遜預備前往柏林知名的邊境檢查哨。”
曝光的前東德秘密文件，黑線底下暗藏著被跟監的民眾名單，而邁克爾·傑克遜的照片被列入檔案，也看的出天王魅力，果然讓前東德政府有所顧忌。

BERLIN |
BERLIN (Reuters) - Communist East Germany 's secret police saw Michael Jackson as a security threat, fearing his 1988 concert next to the Berlin Wall would spark protests
At a time of rising discontent in East Germany, the Stasi was worried youngsters would try to crash through security barriers to listen to the concert on the other side of the wall which had separated East and West Berlin since 1961.
"They were concerned dissident youths would call for the Wall to fall," Steffen Mayer, a spokesman for the government agency that looks after the Stasi archives, told Reuters.
"This was seen as a potential security threat given the amount of foreign media that would be present."
The Berlin Wall, which symbolized the division between the West and the Communist world fell little over a year later, in an era of change triggered by reforms of Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev.
The Stasi had planned to broadcast the concert with a two minute delay in an East Berlin stadium to keep people away from the area. A tape of an old Jackson concert would be held on standby in case there were any problems.
But the plan was never carried out, Mayer said. Instead authorities forcefully dispersed anyone who tried to get close to the wall on June 19.
A month after the recently deceased pop icon's concert in front of the Brandenburg Gate, in West Berlin , Bruce Springsteen performed in front of 160,000 East Germans - the biggest concert in the Communist country's history.
East Germany welcomed him as a "hero of the working class," but Springsteen instead fueled widespread dissatisfaction with the words: "I came to play rock 'n' roll for you East Berliners in the hope that one day all the barriers will be torn down."
