Michael Jackson (born August 29, 1958, died June 25, 2009, in Los Angeles) was a great American singer, a legend of pop music, a dancer, songwriter, producer, actor, choreographer, and businessman. He achieved international fame at the age of 11 as the lead singer of the family group Jackson 5, and later became one of the most commercially successful solo artists in history and was proclaimed the "King of Pop." This title was largely due to the success of the album 'Thriller,' which became the best-selling album of all time (109 million copies). Four other albums by Michael also achieved great commercial success: 'Off The Wall' (1979), 'Bad' (1987), 'Dangerous' (1991), and 'HIStory' (1995). Jackson has won thirteen Grammy Awards; he also reached the top of the American Billboard Hot 100 singles chart thirteen times. His name has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice – as a solo artist and as a member of Jackson 5. His worldwide record sales during his solo career exceed 750 million copies.
He died on June 25, 2009, in a hospital in California at the age of 50.
My childhood idol. Back then, I wanted to be like him in everything, to be just like him. I even remember my father teaching me how to do the "moonwalk." How I would rush to the TV when his music videos were on...
I also remember there being a game for the "Sega" console about him. I spent days playing it.
And what can I say, there were many positive moments. But soon I completely forgot about him. I thought, "Well, Michael Jackson is living his life, let him continue to do so." A lot of time passed, and... He died. At first, I didn't pay much attention to it. But last night, I decided to listen to his music and remember. While listening, I started crying, and I felt... so sad and melancholic. And now, while typing this message, tears are welling up in my eyes again...
But besides everything else, this sad event united the whole world, and I think that's what he would have wanted.
