Remembering Michael Jackson
The world was stunned when the "King of Pop" Michael Jackson was found dead in Los Angeles on June 25, just 18 days before his sold-out stage comeback in London. For many fans it was the saddest and darkest day in pop music history, and his legend continues to grow after his unexpected death.
The tributes to the controversial music icon swept the whole world during the last half of 2009, with 30 million copies of his music records being shipped and a critically-acclaimed movie topping charts at the box office. The movie "This Is It" collected a record-breaking US$250 million worldwide. Even in remote Chinese villages, young people dance the moonwalk to his music. Whether or not one is a fan of his music, no one can deny Michael Jackson’s impact on the planet.
