Michael Flatley: New tour will be his curtain call.

Dance superstar Michael Flatley has revealed how Fred Astaire and Michael Jackson both danced their way down the sweeping staircase in his Irish stately home.

He has told how he was delighted to learn the Hollywood icon was a regular visitor to his Cork mansion in the 1930s, while the King of Pop paid a visit to him in the Castlehyde Estate when he was living in Ireland.

And he told Hello magazine that both dance legends danced down the four-storey stone staircase in Castlehyde, the ancestral home of Ireland’s first President Douglas Hyde.
