In Memoriam: Michael Jackson
June 25th, 2009 | 7:18 pm est |
One of the biggest stars of the 20th century, entertainer Michael Jackson died on Thursday, June 25th, 2009 of cardiac arrest. Even after a 13 year lapse in live performing, an expatriation to Bahrain, and almost two decades of persistent controversy, the recording artist’s legacy as the undisputed King of Pop has held fast. Jackson remains almost impossibly relevant, even in death, the subject of adoration — as well as hatred — among millions of viewers, spanning both borders and generations.
As fans mourn the 50 year-old performer’s unexpected death, AMG’s Stephen Thomas Erlewine memorializes Jackson’s life, career, and impact on the entertainment industry.
R.I.P Michael Jackson, he will sorely missed, he was not only a great performer,
but also a musical genious.
RIP brother Michael. You will always be the ‘King Of Pop’.
Michael Jackson was a very good singer and I loved all his music.
I wish I could have met him in person.
I would have loved to shake is hand.
I will mist him very much.Rest in peace Michael.
I will surely miss Michael Jackson, he is really worthy of the name King of Pop and he is certainly one of the greatest musicians of all time.
Michael was one of the finest star. His music and dancing made people crazy. He had undergone many surgeries, used to take lot of drugs to overcome panic. Will surely miss you Michael!!
there would be no other King of Pop like Michael Jackson. he would always be the King.
I miss him so much :(
