What Else is On?

R.I.P Michael Jackson - a true legend. What is happening to the music industry? :(

Like a friend said --

• Who else could have sold over 700m copies (total album/singles sales)?
• Who else could have their album spend over 80 weeks in theUS Top 10?
• Who else could sell 500,000 concert seats in just 4 hrs?
• Who else could have an album sell 5million copies & be said to have flopped?

"Micheal, last nite felt like 9/11 Why? Because the whole world collectively mourned again. WE LOVE YOU" --

I guess Michael' Jackson's time had come to achieve his purpose and live for 50 years. Read more about the death of Michael Jackson here and his bio here R.I.P
