It's the world that caused Michael Jackson's death.
MJ was put in the spotlight from the tender age of 8. That's not right. We called him 'The King Of Pop'. We mimicked his dance moves like they were the biggest craze ever. We ALL have a copy of Thriller. We all made jokes about his sexuality, skin colour, and personality crisis. He was presented with the Guinness world record as the most famous person alive. People cried when they caught a glimpse of him. He received more media attention than any other celebrity during his career. He inspired fashion styles.
He was worshipped like a god.
This created a mindset within MJ of what was expected of him; to be something supernatural. That piled an immense amount of stress and pressure on him, so much so that he decided to hide from the world completely. When the latest bomb exploded above his head about the (strong) rumours that the children which he claimed to be his biological children were in fact not, the stress had overtaken him. It was one too many.
People always made Michael Jackson out as someone who could never die. This early morning it's as clear as day that he was in fact a normal human. I don't know how many people will be able to come to grips with that fact...
One thing is for sure though, he will never truly die... He will live on like Elvis Presley; and even more so.
RIP Jacko.
