So where were you when you heard? I was brushing my teeth, thinking about drinking beer in the sun the next day and then… And then the world changed. Forever. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a Jacko fangirl. Sure, I see the genius in his Off The Wall, Thriller and Bad albums but the circus that’s surrounded him over the last 15 years has had nothing to do with his music, so it’s easy to forget what a total entertainer he used to be rather than the eccentric he’d become. However, watching back the videos below even I can’t fail to be moved by his showmanship. The King of Pop may no longer be alive, but his legend and music remain. Watch it and weep…
