Michael Jackson



Well....I am absolutely speechless to hear the news of Michael Jackson's death. It truly is a tragedy to have him taken so young and although I knew he had health problems, I'm in total disbelief. He had a huge influence on me as I was growing up - Off the Wall was my very first album on cassette, and I was beyond excited to be seeing him live next month - a once in a lifetime opportunity. I am absolutely gutted that the icon I was desperate to see before I died, has gone. My thoughts are with his family on such a heartbreaking day, it's a shame that the jokes and insensitivity and disrespect have begun already. He has achieved so much in his life and his legacy will transcend death and live on through his timeless music. There will never be anyone like him again.
