Keep the message alive
There are many things that happened last year that were devastating. But to millions of fans around the world the passing of Michael Jackson remains the most difficult so far. Testimony to this are events dedicated to the death of the singer around the world, from club specials to tributes at world music events such as the Grammys. Stars and commoners pay their tribute to the late King who has influenced the modern music industry and helped shape it as it is today. Products, michael jackson posters and other memorabilia remain very popular with the public. Everyone wants a piece of the great music and legend that the King was.
But it’s heartening to see that the legacy of the musician is viewed as not only musical. Michael Jackson changed the way charity works among celebrities and common people alike. He opened hospitals around the world. He donated the entire proceeds of his world tours to charity. He brought serious issues such as war, poverty, racism and environmental problems into his songs taking pop to a whole different level. No wonder Jackson is respected by musicians worldwide, from rock to classic ones. He was truly a legend and hopefully his message continues to spread.
