Dies Michael Jackson, 'King of Pop'






Michael Jackson; 'King of Pop', whose great talent was accompanied by revelations of a strange life, died yesterday Thursday, at the age of 50 years a hospital from Los Angeles.

Jackson's death ends a turbulent and sometimes tragic life. Was in the Starred since child as part of the Jackson Five, and in 1980 was arguably the most influential artists in pop music, who knew how to combine black's music with the white's music, which was the pioneer of music videos broadcast by the then channel MTV.

He was the most electrifying artist of his generation: famous for his frenzied dancing that grabbed the groin and sang with loud shrieks and dotted with tremors. His lone glove, sunglasses and military jacket with epaulettes were what most distinguished him, apart from his face repeatedly altered by surgery. His album "Thriller" launched in 1982 _ and that included the hits "Beat It" "Billie Jean" and "Thriller" _ remains today the best selling in history with 26 million copies.

Over the years became increasingly strange. Beside that his facial features appeared plastics. He was surrounded by children and acted as them. He lived in a palatial mansion called Neverland, his face was covered with a mask of surgeon and lived with a chimp named Bubbles.

Good byeeee to King of Pop!
