Micheal Jackson: 1958 - 2009
I was just flicking through channels late last night on TV when a newsflash came up and reported that the king of pop Micheal Jackson had died in Los Angeles at the age of 50. I must admit I wasn"t a huge fan ( apart from the Thriller song & video) but a shock all the same. My aunt is actually here from America at the moment because her sister is having an operation & she"s a fan of his. It seems bad luck that he was supposed to be performing in London in July at the O2 arena & people had bought tickets. There was actually a busking band who had booked a smaller hall in the arena months ago which had been arranged on the same day as the Micheal Jackson concert. Micheal & his crew wanted to use the room for their after show party but this relatively unknown band refused (They had a single in the charts in 2004) they won"t have to move their show now.
I bet there"ll be loads of M.J. nostalgia now just like after Elvis"s death but at least it will take every body's mind off all the normal boring news as he was a remarkable character, surviving everything that the newspapers & the TV channels threw at him until now.
