Gone Too Soon.

Michael Jackson, the King of Pop. 1958~2009

It's a waste to see another music legend gone just like that!

Elvis Presley (42), died due to drug abuse.
James Brown (73), died of pneumonia.

The Beatles:
John Lennon (40), murdered.
George Harrison (58), died of cancer.

Michael Jackson (50), died of Cardiac Arrest.

I think that Michael Jackson was more than just a performer but someone that really showed care and concern for the unfortunate children around the world. He did a lot of humanitarian work with the amount of money earned.

He is the pop culture, the music legend, the king of pop and whats more, the smoothest dancer ever.

Thriller, being the top selling album throughout history has sold more than 100 million copies thoughout the whole world.

He had sold more than 750 million albums world wide.

The legacy he left behind throughout his career has influenced singers such as Usher, Justine Timberlake, Britney Spears, Akon, Will.I.am and even Lady Gaga.

Who haven't heard of the song Thriller? Billie Jean? Bad? Beat It? Smooth Criminal? And even Man in the Mirror.

Ah well, anyway, he's dead and his albums are definitely much more expensive than before. I hope I can get hold of each and every album as time goes by!

Oh yeah, one last thing, take a look at this site to look at the amount of newspaper having Michael Jackson as the headline news. Check it out!
