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
