The King of POP

I turned the radio on this morning as usual, and heard that the Michael Jackson just passed away. I ran for the television and watched CNN and TMZ to confirm it. The King of Pop was declared dead at UCLA Medical Center. It was believed that he died of cardiac arrest, but it is not yet confirmed until results of the autopsy are known.

Some say that he was taking prescription drugs that may have had something to do with his untimely death. The press has not confirmed this. However, investigations will be done. He died at the age of 50.

Obviously, a lot of people were surprised by this sudden news. Fans, who have supported Michael throughout his career, have gathered to the said hospital and sang some of the celebrity's memorable hits.

As for the music industry, this is probably one, if not, the most disastrous thing that has ever happened. Not only that they lost the best performer they have, they also lost a "king".

Michael Jackson influenced musicians, dancers and the like with his heart pumping beats, the water-like dance movements and his heart-breaking love songs. Probably his big hits "She's out of my life" and "Man in the mirror" are the songs I won't forget in my lifetime.

Despite having numerous scandals and issues he faced, he stood his ground and made huge comebacks that dispersed those negative things and brought fans back to the "dance floor".

According to CNN, Michael said on his last interview, that "he just wanted to be immortal. He wanted to live forever, not physically, but through his music". It's a sad and joyous thing, because you'll never see him again dancing or making brand new tracks, but it's good to know that even though he left, his art will continue it's mission to inspire musical artists and of course, touch our hearts.

May the King of Pop rest in peace. May you live the second life with the love from your fans.

Here's a song from Michael. Enjoy.
