Michael Jackson - The Legend is alive!

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009), who is also known as the "King of Pop" has recently been pronounced dead but, will always be remembered as a musical genius. Although he does not need an introduction, Michael was a great singer, dancer and a business person. Millions of fans across the world are heartbroken on his death and are paying tribute to the legendary singer in their own way.

When Michael was born, his father nicknamed him as "big nose" boy. This created in him a desire to opt for plastic surgery even at the age of 8. He had his first nose job done at the age of 21 but that was not a complete success as Michael started to face breathing problems. He opted for a revision strategy the very next year but was of no avail either. Until his nasal tissues were completely damaged, Michael had completed a total of four nose surgeries. Also, because he had a skin disorder as well, he decided to go for a complete facial strategy. Those close to the singer say that he had undergone approximately ten surgical operations.

Michael's appearance was also affected by health problems, weight loss and natural aging. He decided to lose weight and became a vegetarian so as to have a dancer's body which was his ultimate goal. He became dependent on drugs and hence, contributed to his ill health.

Michael hated his father as he was physically and emotionally abused by him as a child. He never wanted to discuss him but in an interview during which the subject was raised; he became emotional and said that he would vomit before meeting his father. Some mental health experts and psychologists expressed the opinion that Michael was a psychological patient and he suffered from body dysmorphic disorder.

Michael Jackson was a true artist. His beautiful songs depicted peace, harmony and love for life and mankind. His album "thriller" was the greatest hit and the songs "beat it", "billy jean" and "thriller" were most appreciated. Also, he embraced Islam in a ceremony at a friend's house in Los Angeles and changed his name to Mikaeel. A number of people take this as a rumor, however, the news has been authenticated by a variety of newspapers and news channels.

In all, Michael is not dead. He's a legend and will stay alive forever. He is survived by three children namely Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.

May Michael's soul rest in peace.
