That was the first news I heard when I went downstairs this morning - Michael Jackson is REALLY dead.I'm still in shock. I can't really consider myself a big fan of Michael Jackson since I never bought his albums. But, I enjoyed his songs on the radio and I loved watching his videos or concerts on TV. I know he's the musical influence of most of the popular pop and R&B artists today. Okay, I'm a fan.
According to reports, cause of death was cardiac arrest. He was preparing for his comeback concerts in London (50 shows in total) and this might be what caused his death. All that stress and pressure. At 50, I can't even believe he was still doing 50 shows. I even read that Jackson was mad when he learned that he was booked for 50 shows in London instead of just 10. He was planning on doing a worldwide tour but promoters booked 50 dates all in one place.
Anyway, going back to his tragic death, I feel saddened by it even after all the things he's done to himself and all the allegations that he was a child molester. I love his music. I love him as a performer.
*Sigh*
In the car, on our way to our internet cafe, radio stations were playing Michael Jackson's songs nonstop. I'd be listening to his songs today just because.
I know this news shocked everyone. I know Michael Jackson's legacy in the music industry cannot be beaten by anyone.... and his music will keep on playing.
R.I.P. Michael Jackson
