Michael Jackson dies age 50

The shocking news that Michael Jackson had sadly past away broke this week. Fans all over the world were devastated after his death was confirmed, I was in France at the time and tributes were taking place along the streets of Paris in dedication to the king of pop.

Michael, who was already dead when he reached the UCLA medical centre in LA tried to be revived but there was nothing more the paramedics could do.

Since Michael’s death, his ‘number ones’ album has already smashed the charts at number one and it has been flying off the shelves as the fastest selling album ever in one day.

At the BET awards last night, Janet Jackson made an emotional tribute to her brother saying:

“My entire family wanted to be here tonight but it was just too painful, so they elected me to speak to all of you. I’m going to keep it very short. To you, Michael is an icon. To us, Michael is family. And he will forever live in all of our hearts. On behalf of my family, and myself, thank you for all of your love. Thank you for all of your support. We miss him so much. Thank you so much.”

The front gates to Michael’s home have been filled with flowers and personal tributes to the king of pop.

I’m sure that Jacko, like all other music legends will stay playing in clubs, on the radio and his Cd’s will be bought for many years to come.
