MICHAEL IS GONE

MICHAEL JACKSON IS DEAD. HE SUFFERED A HEART ATTACK AND WAS 50 YEARS OLD. one of the greatest stars of recorded music. 


Off The Wall, released in 1979, was a startling update on the child star who ten years previously had sung I Want You Back with such preternatural anguish.


Off The Wall, Rock With You and Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough saw Jackson reconfigure the disco zeitgeist in his image, in the process announcing to the world that the child-star from Indiana had grown up.


By the time he released Thriller – the album which ended up in a whopping 53 million homes – he was the biggest pop star on the planet.


Jackson was rushed to hospital in LA after ambulance officers were called to his home, where he had stopped breathing.

"When paramedics arrived, Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back," 

Born on August 29, 1958, Jackson made his showbusiness debut with four of his older brothers in the Jackson Five pop group, and went on to lead the stage clan with a piping soprano and dazzling dance moves.  The Jacksons produced seven platinum singles for Motown, selling over a million, and three multi-platinum albums, selling more than two million.
