Hello!
Wow, it has nine years since the legendary king of pop, Michael Jackson, passed away! I'm sure many of us remember where we were when the news of his death broke on June 25th, 2009. I sure do. I had a day off on that day and was getting ready to meet up with friends for lunch when I turned on the television and saw the headline, "Michael Jackson dead at 50" across the screen. With endless coverage and specials on television, how could anyone miss it? I was so shocked and sad, like millions of other people around the world.
Michael was one of the most popular entertainers in the world and was the best-selling music artist in 2009. His contributions to music and very public personal life made him a global figure for many years. He constantly made headlines and became the subject of sensational and fabricated stories because of his eccentricities but his music and amazing humanitarian work are what he is most remembered and loved for. A lot of sadness came along with his success but the good definitely outweighs the bad. Nobody could ever doubt his talent. Michael was gone too soon but his work still influences many artists in different ways. His music can be heard everywhere. He will never be forgotten.
Today would have been his 60th birthday and in this post, I am going to share some of my favourite photos and videos of him.

I was and still am a huge fan of Michael Jackson. I listen to his songs often and have seen every movie and documentary about him. I've also read some books about him. Every year on the anniversary of his death and on his birthday I have a Michael Jackson themed night and watch every video of him on YouTube.
Happy birthday Michael! We love you.
Vishi xoxo
