mj is dead

the king of pop passed away on 25th june and he's already the feature story for this week's issue of 8days. wow!

goes to show how iconic mj is and how hard the team at 8days must have worked to pull this off.

my first impression of him started with 'beat it' when i was still a wee lad. a very catchy pop jingle.

i'm not a fan but he does seem to be incredibly talented musically selling millions of albums. it's sad that his later years were characterised by his eccentric and sometimes bizarre behaviour.

as millions mourn his death, the circumstances surrounding his death is still shrouded in mystery while the custody of his children remains unclear.

it is sad that an extraordinary life has been cut short so abruptly. my sympathies and condolences to his young children.
