The Death Of A Legend..

Saw a message in Facebook written by my cousin Steve, “The King of Pop dies at 50, no more Moonwalk.” Honestly the first thing that I do after opening my webpage was going to Facebook first. Curious whether the news was true or not, I surf msn.com. Wow, the page was full of MJ’s pic from the moment he joined Jackson 5 till his death.

To some people, this guy is known as an eccentric. After the success of the album “Thriller” in 1982, he’s popularity soared to the sky. With 50 million copies sold worldwide, he proves that skin color is nothing. He breaks the boundaries between white and black. To some of those who speculate more about his personal life, I think it’s just unfair to judge him just because he chose not to expose his life to the public. What is their right to interfere with his life? I never knew this guy, I never met him, but I can feel he didn’t live a life he enjoys. He choose to be with children and his long time mate Bubbles, a chimpanzee.

If some of you read about his childhood life, it was painful and he didn’t get a chance to enjoy a life a normal kid does. Which is why he built Neverland Ranch. The painful time he went through has made him a person who is introverted. He was married, blessed with 3 children, Prince Michael I & II and Paris. To some of the readers of this blog, do you think he’s happy? Showered with mountains of money and spotlights of fame, it only fulfills his physical need, ignoring his own feel.

And he never wished to die that early, I’ve watched a documentary about him few years ago which was taken in Neverland, he said he want to search for immortality. And even if he dies, he wants his body to be preserved and believes there will be time when he will wake up again and live forever. To lose a legend like him, considered a ‘natural heir of Elvis’ is unbearable to the music industry. I’ve read several articles this morning; he passed a way due to ‘cardiac arrest’ and was no longer breathing when he was still at home. It is a very ironic ending to the long trailed tragedy of this legend, when he was going to start his last world tour long awaited by his fans.

Saw another news tonight that he will be buried tomorrow, I just can't accept why it even until the moment of his death it is still being sensationalized.

For some people, it is just another end of a fairytale story, another end of a song, another end of a an epilogue..What do you think? RIP Michael.
