The death of singer, Michael Jackson
Dear all,
Today, when I browse the Internet, I happened to encounter a news that quite shocked me a little bit. The tag line of the news said, "Singer Michael Jackson, died at 50". At first I thought maybe this was one of those pranks made by people who don't like him very much. But after I read the article and also a few more articles about the death of MJ, I began to believe that the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, has finally laid to rest.
I was an ardent fan of this celebrity ever since I was a child, and a lot of his songs really captured my heart. Despite of all the controversies/scandals that struck him in the past years, I believe that his death will be a great loss for the music world and that many of his fans will missed the pop icon.
Read an excerpt about Michael Jackson's death below:
"Michael Jackson, the sensationally gifted child star who rose to become the “King of Pop” and the biggest celebrity in the world only to fall from his throne in a freakish series of scandals, died Thursday. He was 50.
Jackson died at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles. Ed Winter, the assistant chief coroner for Los Angeles County, confirmed his office had been notified of the death and would handle the investigation.
The circumstances of Jackson’s death were not immediately clear. Jackson was not breathing when Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded to a call at his Los Angeles home about 12:30 p.m., Capt. Steve Ruda told the Los Angeles Times. The paramedics performed CPR and took him to the hospital, Ruda told the newspaper.
Jackson’s death brought a tragic end to a long, bizarre, sometimes farcical decline from his peak in the 1980s, when he was popular music’s premier all-around performer, a uniter of black and white music who shattered the race barrier on MTV, dominated the charts and dazzled even more on stage.
His 1982 album “Thriller” — which included the blockbuster hits “Beat It,” “Billie Jean” and “Thriller” — is the best-selling album of all time, with an estimated 50 million copies sold worldwide.
The public first knew him in the late 1960s, when as a boy he was the precocious, spinning lead singer of the Jackson 5, the music group he formed with his four older brothers. Among their No. 1 hits were “I Want You Back,” “ABC” and “I’ll Be There.”
