A Tribute To Michael Jackson

The death of Michael Jackson shocked the world. Never did it appear for a moment that with all the preparations and rehearsals for the grand concert in London, such a thing could happen. Something unexpected. But it did happen. Man can plan, God disposes. It simply means, we are not in control of our lives.

Michael Jackson came from a singing family, The Jackson Five, well known for their TV series in the late sixties and seventies. And naturally, the young Michael Jackson would become a full time entertainer, there was no doubt about it. The one thing which amazed everyone was, He not only did that. But he became a sensational singer and a pop icon to boot ! At a young age - when most performers would take nearly a lifetime to reach the top.

With his trademark dance style, he wowed the world from America to Malaysia. Nothing could stop the tsunami, everyone was doing The Moonwalk. With seven hundred million records sold, Jackson was a mighty big man. The one weakness, he was a great spender. Never counting the cost. Never Land Ranch was one of them. And stigmatized by accusations of being a paedophile which was later overturned by the court. Nevertheless, it affected his career.

Including his fanance were on a downslide. And these series of concerts, starting in London were designed for his comeback. To conquer the world once again with his exceptional singing and dancing. Unfortunately it was not meant to be. And Michael Jackson is now just a memory. Though a unique one at that ! R I P
