Former king of pop. Musical genius. My idol. Announced today about forty minutes before 5:30. My idol, Michael Jackson, has been confirmed dead, of a heart attack, at age 50. His albums were awesome. His songs were awesome. He was awesome.
Michael Jackson died in current hometown, Los Angeles. One of the greatest singers in the history of Earth is gone. His fame was invincible as he was a hit at age 9. He and his brothers had formed a group known as the Jackson 5. The band in which I sing songs from.
The seventh child of nine had a great life in his youth. As he had made many hits including, ABC, I Want You Back, The Love You Save, and Ben. His solo career went even better with other singles, Shake Your Body, Billie Jean, Beat It, P.Y.T (Pretty Young Thing). And the famous song known to everyone who is anyone, or at least the people from his time, Thriller, which was the biggest selling album in the world and produced 7 hit singles along with 50 million copies sold worldwide.
To me the controversies mean nothing. Jackson had it all. I feel bad for him wasting his money, but in his whole life, he did as much good as Disney's Friends for Change can do to the Earth. His career was a success. His come-back tour was going to hit the U.K. later this year. Rescheduled for never once his death was confirmed.
After 50 years, he made history, being compared to other artists of his day. Mostly Elvis Presley. I and his family of a wife and three kids, Paris, Prince, and third nicknamed, "Blanket", will especially miss him as much as he will miss being alive. As he was a Thriller.
