Didn’t even know there was already a shrine to MJ there?

“Bubblesplatz is a shrine to Bubbles the chimpanzee outside the Bayerischer Hof Hotel on the Promenadeplatz in Munich. The shrine is on the base of the monument to Maximilian Emanuel and is similar in style to the shrine to Michael Jackson which is on the base of the statue of Orlando Di Lasso, a few metres away. The Michael Jackson shrine has no relationship to the monument that accommodates it and neither does Bubbles’ shrine. The relevance of the Michael Jackson shrine to its site is that MJ stayed at the Bayerischer Hof Hotel at some point. It is also likely that Bubbles stayed there, having accompanied Jackson on his 1986 visit to Munich.”
