Too bad, really.
Just hit his 50th birthday, his Comeback was on the way (to start in Europe btw) and now this. I really feel sorry for him as a person.
Even his opposers had to admit that he had a tremendous musical talent, many musicians were influenced and inspired by him. Brilliant stage performer also.
Literally the sound-track of my life:
"Rock With You" - First MJ song I heard.
"Billie Jean" - Moonwalk practice made my feet bleed.
"Smooth Criminal" - Coolest MJ video ever.
"Man In The Mirror" and "Earth Song" - Appealed to my conscience.
"You Are Not Alone" - Gave me comfort when I was down.
"Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" - Always gave me an energy boost.
But there were so many more...
