It was on Friday morning, when I woke up at 8.00a.m. My mum just heard on the radio that the king of pop- Michael Jackson died of cardiac arrest (when oxygen can't get to the heart). I was so shock that I thought she misheard something. When I told my dad, he said "so fast", because he saw on the news at 4.00a.m. that Michael Jackson had cardiac arrest, but they haven't announced that he is dead.
There was this surge of emotion going through me. Though I didn't know him much because he wasn't popular when I got to know about him. I knew him from his moonwalk and some of his songs. I also knew him from the court cases about him being accused of sexual abuse. Those cases really changed him so much, he was addicted to pain killers when they were doing long and damaging investigations. He has lupus and vitiligo, which made his skin sensitive to sunlight, thats why whenever he goes out, he needs an umbrella and wears sunglasses and stuff. He also had tones of plastic surgery. He made his skin whitter and he did his nose, lips, eyes, and lots more. He looked so much more better before the plastic surgeries. He was so cute when he was performing as a little boy, compare to recently.
It is so sad that he passed away before he could make his last tour in England. He announced that that tour in England would be his last performance in England. The tickets sold out within 4 hours, people from all around the world came to see him perform. unfortnately he died a month before his performance, not even able to perform his last perfromance.
He had so much talent. It was such a waste that he passed away before people could see more of him. I aslo knew him from his financial losses. He had to give up his Neverland to pay up some of his debt. He created Neverland, because he can't walk down a street and not be spotted. He wanted everything that he had durng his childhod there. He brought in lots of sick cancer children to his Neverland. He also wanted to cheer the children up. Those were the time when they charged him of the sexual abuses. He let the children to sleep in his bed while he slept on the flour. Now there would be nothing left for his children, because all that is left will be use to pay up all of his debt.
Those are basically what I know about him. Another thing is that he used to perform with his brothers in Jackson 5. He was the 7th child in 9 children. Michael Jackson married Elvis Presley's daughter for 2 years. Later on he married the former dermatology nurse and divorced her. He has 3 children. The 3rd child's mother is unknown. This was the child that he dangled over the balconoy of his apartment when the boy was a tolder.
Jackson made mistakes, certainly, but let's hope it is his significant musical legacy that will live on more than the tittle-tattle and litigation that came with it. The whole world is mourning over his death.
On the same day, Flaura Fawcett passed away after a long battle with cancer. That was such a sad day.
