Sudden Death of Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson’s sudden death sent shock waves around the world. He died Thursday of cardiac arrest. Michael Jackson will be remembered for defining a generation. He was the "King of Pop." He dominated the pop music industry with many number 1 hits. "Thriller" was and still is the best-selling album of all time.
The 50 year old singer was taken by paramedics from his west L.A. home to UCLA Medical Center where doctors tried to resuscitate him for more than an hour. Doctors were unable to revive Jackson and he was pronounced dead at 2:26 p.m. PT.
Michael will always be remembered for not only his music, but his dance moves. The break dancing and moonwalk will never be done the same. During his career Jackson won 13 Grammys, the 13 No:1 singles, and two inductions into the Hall of Fame.
He is survived by three children Prince Michael I, Paris and Prince Michael II and his family. The singer was the seventh of nine children from Gary, Indiana. His family is well known for their musical talents.
Over the last few years, Jackson has been involved in a lot of controversy. He changed who he was in many ways, but he will be remembered for his earlier days. With his death, many of us feel that we have lost part of our childhood and teen years.
During his prime (1974-1986), he could not be stopped. No one could pull off the loafers, white glove, parachute pants, or military jacket like he could. He changed the world. Everyone absolutely loved him and he had such an influential role on the entertainers that we listen to today. Michael Jackson was a world icon and will always be remembered by his fans.
