Michael Jackson's death

:( Michael Jackson died last thursday (25th June, 2009)- so four days ago.

It was about 11:30pm, i was upstairs brushing my teeth and getting ready for bed. My lil bro comes upstairs and says 'Michael Jackson is dead'. Wow, i was pretty shocked. Can't really tell you how much. First thing i felt was disbelief... i ran downstairs, and my sister and mum were watching the bbc news. It had huge 'Just in' messages all over it, and 'Live here from Los Angeles'... and all that stuff....

and then one of those news men said, 'it has been confirmed that Michael Jackson died today, when he suffered from a cardiac arrest in his hotel room...'

it was pretty much like the time stopped... and i was completely speechless. all i could say was "what...?" and "how....?"

i don't think anyone saw it coming.



Such an amazing man.

The most distinct childhood memory i had of him was when i was just a baby (don't know how old) and whenever 'Heal the World' came on, i'd just stop whatever i was doing and move to the front of the tv. and i'd put my hands on the screen and be mesmerized.... :)

so it's sad. and he was about to do a huge tour too- here at the O2

poor fans who bought tickets will be gutted.

woke up the day after, and turned on the radio- almost every station was blasting out old MJ classics... that made me get upset all over again- i'd forgotten what had happened.

hope he knew how much people loved and adored him. may he rest in peace.

xx
