THE KING OF POP

July 31, 2009 by Anwar Mehdi 

A star from the Pop world disappeared at 2.26 p m local time of the U S on 25 June 2009.

No one imagined this would happen so suddenly.

Death comes as it likes at anytime it wishes.

We have no control over it.

Everyone who is born in this world has to go at the invitation of Death.

It is Nature’s call; we have no say in it.

At the age of 50, the King of Pop – Michael Jackson died.

The sad news spread and made millions of Jackson’s fans all over the world stunned.

The mourning millions started thinking of Jackson and his music, songs and dances.

They played Jackson’s CDs which picked up the sales and became the best sellers suddenly after a long time.

After the Pop Star – Elvis Presley dead at 42, Michael Jackson was the best Pop star of the Globe.

All those stars achieved something great which was not reached by many others of equal talents.

Michael Jackson married Elvis Presley’s daughter Lisa Marie only for 20 months in 90s.

‘This Is It’ was a series of concerts to be performed in London in July 2009.

Jackson was a very rich guy spending his time in rehearsals and performances.

Neverland estate of 1000 ha area at California is an asset he possessed.

Michael Jackson’s death created suspicions.

He lived in pills and junk food.

The extensive plastic surgery on his face and the color bleaching of his skin could have caused some abnormal influences in his body.

Only his doctors know about those problems for which high doses of medicines were prescribed administered.

‘Thriller’ was the world’s all-time best-selling album of MJ who was a song-writer, singer and dancer making the mob to go mad.

In 2003, Jackson was changed with child molestation in criminal court.

He was proved innocent and was never convicted.

He sold Neverland estate to a private-equity firm and move to an ultra-posh Holmby Hills in Los Angeles and wanted money to cope up with his lavish life-style.

In fact, MJ was exploited by his associates because he never kept an account of his financial assets.

Since 1997 Jackson did not tour and he agreed for 50 shows in London during July 2009.

He was trying for a come back.

The tickets were sold already for $90 million.

But all his dreams were washed off by Death.

Jackson’s will signed in 2002 was made public after his death.

According to his will, he left his estate to a family trust and nothing to his second wife Debbie Towe who gave birth to Prince Michael Jackson (12 years) and Paris Jackson (11years).

MJ has a third child, Prince Michael II (7 years) with an unknown surrogate mother.

His mother Katherine was name as a beneficiary to the trust and guardian of the three children.

The net worth of his assets may worth millions of dollars which may be the attraction to his associates.

A great talented man who started singing at an early age of eight till his last days has to be remembered.

Millions of people – young and old, boys and girls, men and women – from all over the world are the fans of Michael Jackson, the King of Pop.

But now he left them leaving his memories in his albums and DVDs.

An African-American, basically a black turned white by changing his color to white, sang, danced and traveled widely giving concerts attended by millions of fans.

How a single man could get this extraordinary popularity among the people of the world?

No answer for this question; yet we may say that there was a man ‘born and lived in America’ known as Michael Jackson, the King of Pop.
