Good Bye Billy Jean – Michael Jackson Dead at age 50
Michael Jackson
1958-2009
While this isn’t design news, the tragic death of a great artist can’t go unnoticed. And such huge news that I had to call my husband and tell him, rather than txt!
Today TMZ was the first to report that [tag]Michael Jackson[/tag] was taken by ambulance from his home in Beverly Hills to the hospital. Later reports confirmed that he suffered a heart attack and was in a coma. He was later pronounced [tag]dead[/tag] at the hospital.
He was 50 years old and leaves behind 3 children and a world stunned by this loss. While his last years have certainly not been his best, he made an impact on many generations of artists like no one else in history. Love him or hate him, this mysterious and controversial entertainer’s underlying creativity, originality, and legendary performances will live forever.
Children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince “Blanket” Michael Jackson II.
Discography: His albums sold over $750 million worldwide.
I’m really sad that I’ll never see David Cook perform Billy Jean with the King of Pop.
RIP MJ.
