15 years after his death, on 25 June 2009, Michael Jackson he remains one of the absolute geniuses of pop and an incredible dancer who changed the course of dance.
Jacko was an extraordinary talent. At the age of 8, he moved to Los Angeles with his brothers, The Jackson 5, and established himself as part of the first African-American boy band in music history, thanks to hit singles such as I Want You Back. Success as a solo artist followed, initially thanks to his collaboration with producer Quincy Jones.
Unfortunately, only a shadow remained of the boy prodigy who became the King of Pop when, involved in humiliating legal proceedings, he died in Los Angeles at the age of 50.
The singer was supposed to start a world tour from London which would have marked his return to the world of entertainment after the legal events that had brought him to the forefront of the news for the accusation of sexual harassment of minors. But the return did not happen. Despite selling millions of copies of his records around the world – the ‘Thriller’ album had broken all records in the field – his eccentric lifestyle had put him in dire straits. We still have his art and three immortal albums like ‘Off The Wall’, ‘Thriller’ and ‘Bad’.
