World Mourn Michael Jackson
Pop
Music lovers across the world have continued to
mourn the legendary Pop Star, Michael Jackson.
Late Michael Jackson died of Cardiac arrest on
Thursday at the age of 50.
However, fans and lovers of the music icon have
continued to express concern on the real cause of
death of the fifty year-old "King of Pop” ahead of
his long-awaited series of fifty comeback concerts
in July.
Authorities have scheduled an autopsy to determine a
cause of death which is likely to depend on the
return of toxicology tests.
The Authorities will also determine whether Jackson
had any drugs, alcohol or prescription medications
in his system.
A spokesman for the Jackson’s family, Brian Oxman
said that the family had been concerned about his
health and had tried in vain to take care of him for
months.
Michael appeared at rehearsals a couple of times; he
was seriously trying to be able to do those
rehearsals.
Oxman said Michael’s use of medications had gotten
in the way with injuries he had while performing.
Jackson, a former child star who became one of the
best-selling pop artists of all time before
descending into a strange and reclusive lifestyle,
sold around seven hundred and fifty million albums.
Tributes
Uri Gellar, a close friend of the star, described it
as “very, very sad".
Speaking outside New York's historic Apollo theatre,
Civil Rights Activist, Reverend Al Sharpton paid
tribute to his friend. "I knew him 35 years. When he
had problems he would call me I feel like he was not
treated fairly. I hope history will be more kind to
him than some of the contemporary media."
Melanie Bromley, Journalist, was quoted as saying "I
feel this is the biggest celebrity story in a long
time and has the potential to be the Princess Diana
of popular culture."
