Michael Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana, on August 29, 1958, and entertained audiences nearly his entire life. His father, Joe Jackson, had been a guitarist but was forced to give up his musical ambitions following his marriage to Katherine (Scruse).

Two brief marriages one to Elvis Presley's daughter Lisa Marie Presley were forged and two children produced by his second wife during that time, but the purposes behind them appeared image-oriented.

Debbie Rowe (14 November 1996 - 8 October 1999) (divorced) 2 children

His nineteen eighty seven (1987) album "BAD" is third to "Thriller" as the biggest selling album of all time, with 20 million copies sold worldwide.

His has sold over seven humdred and fifty (750) million albums worldwide.

For it all to end on June 25, 2009, with his sudden death at age 50 of a drug-induced cardiac arrest, just as he was coming out of a four-year reclusive period and rehearsing for a sold-out London concert "comeback" in July, seems uncommonly cruel and tragic.
