Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958June 25, 2009)[1] was one of the most famous and successful musicians of the last 3 decades. He was referred to as "The King of Pop" and considered to be one of the biggest and most influential entertainers in the history of pop music. He recorded the highest-selling album of all time, Thriller, in 1982. Thriller, which includes famous songs like "Beat It" and "Billie Jean", has sold 110 million copies worldwide. Jackson wrote other well-known songs such as "Bad", "Black or White", "Heal the World" and "Earth Song". He is known for popularizing dance moves such as the robot and the moonwalk. He won numerous awards and broke many records. He is often cited as the biggest star since Elvis Presley. He is sometimes referred to as the world's greatest entertainer.[2]

Jackson lived a well-publicized personal life. In 1993, he was accused of child molestation, but the case was settled and no charges were brought. In 2003, he was accused of child molestation again, and he went to court and was found not guilty. He had plastic surgery to change his appearance. He was married to Lisa Marie Presley, the daughter of Elvis Presley, before divorcing her in 1995 and marrying nurse Debbie Rowe later on. Jackson also owned a ranch called Neverland, which he bought in 1989 was sold in November 2008. He kept some rights to it, it is not known what property was given to him. In 2001,Jackson released the album Invincible but could not quite achieve the expected sales. He became inactive since 2001 and his career had started declining. In March 2009, Jackson announced a series of 50 comeback concerts at the 02 arena in London. He said that he was going to tour in order to clear his debts and that he would probably retire after the shows. On June 25, 2009, Jackson died of a cardiac arrest.

Death

Jackson was proclaimed dead on 25 June, 2009 at 2:25pm at the UCLA Medical Center.[3] It is thought that he went into cardiac arrest, which means his heart stopped.[4] At 4:36 pm local time, the Los Angeles coroner confirmed Jackson's death.[5] However, he was unresponsive by 12:15, even though he was not proclaimed dead at the time of hospital arrival, he already passed on by 1pm. Jackson died just two months before his 51st birthday. Rumors and news of Jackson's death broke web records causing a cyberspace traffic jam.The circumstances of his death and the grief which was experienced around the world were compared to the death of Elvis Presley. [6] His death gave Google, Twitter, Facebook, and Yahoo the most page views they have ever gotten.[7][8] Jackson arrived at the hospital not showing any signs of life.

Memorial service

A memorial service was held at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles on July 7, 2009. It began with a reading of a letter by Smokey Robinson of comments by Nelson Mandela, Diana Ross and other close friends of Michael Jackson who could not be at the memorial.[9] Mariah Carey sang I'll Be There at the memorial service, followed by a speech given by Queen Latifah. Lionel Richie performed "Jesus is Love". Berry Gordy, Motown founder, spoke next, offering condolences. Kobe Bryant and Magic Johnson also spoke, with Magic describing the event as a "celebration of Jackson's life and works" rather than a funeral. Jennifer Hudson sung Will You Be There accompanied by a music video. Reverend Al Sharpton then gave a speech about how Jackson kept rising and "never stopped". John Mayer played the guitar as he did in Michael Jackson's song Human Nature. This was followed by Brooke Shields speaking. Jermaine Jackson, Jackson's older brother, then performed Smile, Michael's favorite song written by comic drama legend Charlie Chaplin. This was proceeded by speeches by Martin Luther King III and Bernice King. Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee was the next person who spoke at the memorial service, claiming "people are innocent until proven guilty," (reminding those who accused Jackson of unproven child molestations) saying that Jackson's humanitarian efforts need to be praised. Usher then sang "Gone Too Soon," followed by a montage of old live videos of Jackson himself. Shahim sang next, with Kenny Ortega introducing him afterwards. Kenny Ortega explained that Michael Jackson saw the Staples Center as his home, a reason for the funeral service to be held there. This was followed by Kenny Ortega doing a tribute to him, including We Are the World and Heal the World. The service ended with speeches by members of his family, including Jermaine, Marlon and daughter Paris who broke into tears and said that "Daddy was the best father anyone could have" and also that "I will miss him" then she left the microphone and turned into Janet Jackson's arms. The memorial lasted over 2 hours.

At first, Michael Jackson's custom made quarter million dollar golden casket, nicknamed "The Promethean" was not expected to appear at the memorial service, however, due to a change in the family's plans the casket was taken to the memorial service.[10]

Viewing parties were held all over the world for the broadcast, including at several movie theaters, in Times Square, the Apollo Theater, Raleigh, and Berlin.[11] The broadcast was replayed a few times the next day.

Over 3,000 police officers were assigned to the event, the largest amount assigned to a single event since the 1984 Summer Olympics.[12] It cost the City of Los Angeles 1.4 million dollars.[13] His funeral took place in Glendale California on September 3, 2009, 9 weeks after he died. He was laid to rest at 9:45pm in the mausoleum, above the ground. Mother Katherine decided on burial details but some family members and friends wanted him buried below ground in the mausoleum. Jermaine Jackson wanted him buried on Neverland ranch.[needs proof]
