Michael 'Prince' Joseph Jackson

Michael 'Prince' Joseph Jackson has moon-walked off the world’s stage. He died on Thursday June 25, 2009 leaving family, friends and loyal fans shocked and mourning in his wake.

He was truly a musical genius, an amazing and gravity-defying dancer as well as a uniting force, bringing people of various background and class together where his music was concerned. He was a shrewd business man. He was also a devoted father of three beautiful children. His parents has lost a son, his siblings has lost their brother, nieces and nephews lost their uncle and the world has lost an iconic, talented and amazing musician and dancer. It’s a very tragic and shocking death.

His fame came with the usual ups and down and his personal life was filled with scandals of the worst kind. There were court cases. He was acquitted. There was also talk that he was in major debt. He didn’t escape the negatives that came with fame. He was eccentric. He was brilliant!

He put his whole being into creating and executing his dance moves. He was magical when dancing. So graceful, so light and so powerful simultaneously!

Rest in peace Michael. May you be remembered for your positive contributions to the music industry and for your devotion as a father to your three beautiful children as well as to your family and loyal fans. You will be missed!
