Michael Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) Died after a cardiac arrest June 25th at 12:21 PM after he got rushed to the UCLA Medical Center. He first fell into a coma, and died shortly after that. Physicians from the hospital tried to revive him, but he never did.
He was proclaimed dead by the Los Angeles County Coroner's office.
Michael Joseph Jackson, 50 was one of the most influential entertainers of his era, he had an unique way to charm his audience. His music, lyrics and dance moves like the Robot and the Moonwalk gave him the name of "King of Pop". Gaining him a lot of popularity.
His career got shadowed after the accusations of sexual abuse on a minor. The case was of 13 year old boy named Jordan Chandler. He accused Jackson of touching his penis, and performing oral sex. Authorities started a search of Jackson's Neverland ranch despite Jordan Chandler's mother testimony saying that Michael Jackson was innocent. The family's boy started a lawsuit against Jackson, though he offer a financial settlement. He also got multiple lawsuits from his ex-employees.
Jackson blamed the media for biasing information.
Jackson had one son with Elvis Presley's daughter Lisa Marie Presley after they got married. This marriage was considered a publicity stunt. After they divorced, Michael married a nurse and had two other kids with her.
He was famous for his white glove he always wore in his shows, and his multiple plastic surgeries in his face throughout the years. It was said the he used to sleep in a Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber to slow the aging process. Rumor he later denied in an interview with Oprah in her show. Getting the higher ranking for a non-sport TV show ever. He also denied many rumors saying about Jackson changing the color of his skin to white. He said he had a skin condition named Vitiligio which is a dermatological disorder that causes depigmentation in patches of the skin.
But the sad story is that he was supposed to do a comeback tour in London in July 13th, just two weeks away from the show where VIP tickets were selling for $15.000. A lot of people were disappointed and sad to the news of his passing. People was expecting to see a great concert, and now they wont ever have a chance to see the King of Pop performing.
I grew up listening to Michael Jackson's music and watched his movies, I really like him, and it was sad how his life was being deteriorated by stress due to so many lawsuits and health problems.
Rest In Peace Michael Jackson, you will be always remembered.
