Michael Jackson

Yesterday, Thursday June 25th, 2009 the King himself Michael Jackson was pronounced dead at 2:26pm. Apparently he went into a cardiac arrest from being "addicted" so prescription drugs. Other sources say that he was also fighting anorexia and had just overcome a staph infection..but who knows, someone is always saying some shit about Mike.


What's crazy is yesterday was also my moms birthday, so I was in a good mood knowing my mother was blessed with another year of life, then this shit happens. First Ed McMahon, then Farrah Fawcett (FAUCET), now Mike? The shit is CRAZY! Well atleast it was still my moms birthday..[trying to look on the bright side]



So while I was doing my research I found out from a blog on Myspace that Lisa Marie Presley wrote, that Mike had a pre-concieved notion about his death. He discussed with her that he was frightened that he would end up dying just like her father Elvis "The King" Presley did. As much as she tried to convince him to get that thought out of his head, it was no use..she already knew that his mind was made..
[research how Elvis died because I'm not going to tell you, this post is about Michael Jackson.]





I'm not going much further into this post though, everyone knows what happened, you just can't have a blog and not blog about the death of a King. Below are some facts about his record sale history and such. Also there's some of my favorite videos posted below. Live In Peace, Michael Jackson. [1958-2009].

Five of Jackson's solo albums – "Off the Wall," "Thriller," "Bad," "Dangerous" and "HIStory," all with Epic Records, a Sony Music label – are among the top-sellers of all time. During his extraordinary career, he sold an estimated 750 million records worldwide, released 13 No.1 singles and became one of a handful of artists to be inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Guinness Book of World Records recognized Jackson as the Most Successful Entertainer of All Time and "Thriller" as the Biggest Selling Album of All Time. Jackson won 13 Grammy Awards and received the American Music Award's Artist of the Century Award.


Michael Jackson, one of the most widely beloved entertainers and profoundly influential artists of all-time, leaves an indelible imprint on popular music and culture..
