    What about his musical legacy? For me Jackon was a career in 3 acts - bright eyed child star, brilliant performer 1979-1985 and then auto-pilot from after that point as he became ever less a musican and ever more a tabloid character.

    My favouite Jackson tune by some distance

    His backers for the London concerts couldn't get insurance,so you can imagine the astronomical bill that all those cancelled concerts are going to cost:eek:.



    Not a fan of the manchild for obvious reasons but he was a musical genius in his heyday.

    All 3 of the threads were started around the same time and noone beat the news media to it. BBC news had as did Sky News before any of the threads started here.

    He's a legend, IMO. Made some fantastic music and pioneered some amazing styles of popular dancing.
