The Legend is Gone - Michael Jackson Dies on Thursday

By Matiss Meijers

Michael Jackson - a man of contradictions. He was the seventh of nine children from a well-known musical family from Gary, Indiana. Being an Afro-American he ended up with white skin, created new pop culture and so much odds, speeches, rumors and myths as no other musician around the world. His genius was overshadowed by a bizarre lifestyle and sex scandals.

He was known as the "King of Pop." Jackson had many No. 1 hits, and his "Thriller" is the best-selling album of all time. He is survived by three children, Prince Michael I, Paris and Prince Michael II.
Millions loved him, millions hated him, but everybody knew him. As for me - I didn't like him - neither as the man nor as the musician. However - when I heard about his death, the world seemed a little bit empty for a while. Whatever Michael Jackson has done, but he was, is and remains a King.

An interesting question is about the planned concerts in London, in O2 arena. As we know - all tickets were sold out. Jackson claimed that he is training intensely and ''the show will go on''. Who knows - may be it really was so. And maybe he shouldn't do so, knowing his ages and what kind of load is that. However... who knows - may be King knew that his days are numbered already. And may be that concert was nothing more than his last goodbyes. Saying ''so long'' to the world in Michael Jackson style. I guess - someday we will find the answer. As for now - the King is dead, long live the King.

I am going to write a book on it.Please - let me know your opinion on: http://michaeljacksonend.blogspot.com/
