The king of pop is dead. It's hard to believe but probably true after the confirmation of most of the news agencies.
Five of Jackson's solo albums – "Off the Wall," "Thriller," "Bad," "Dangerous" and "HIStory," are among the top-sellers of all time. During his extraordinary career, he sold an estimated 750 million records worldwide, released 13 No.1 singles and became one of a handful of artists to be inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Guinness Book of World Records recognized Jackson as the Most Successful Entertainer of All Time and "Thriller" as the Biggest Selling Album of All Time. Jackson won 13 Grammy Awards and received the American Music Award's Artist of the Century Award.
M.J. was a worldwide idolized icon that made people dream about a better world. He hit the heart of millions of people worldwide, even in regions America never dreamed to reach.
I still remember October 96, where Jackson performed in Tunisia during this HIStory tour. People traveled from all over neighbours country to be part of the show. hundreds of ticketless fans gathered in public places and streets to share their passion and danced on his music.
This fever wasn't only about the unique rhythms and music, but more because of the man behind it. Jackson donated and raised millions of dollars for beneficial causes through his foundation, charity singles and charities projects. He tried to transmit a noble message in his songs (remember "We Are the World", "Heal the World", "Earth Song", ...) and was a living prove for simple folks that oversees, people could share the same dreams as we.
Rest in peace Michael, you will be always in our hearts...
