The King of Pop died of cardiac arrest, reports say, which is a great shock to all his fans throughout the world. Wikipedia reports that at the time of death, he was scheduled to 50 concerts from July 2009 to March 2010, tickets for all of them already sold out.
Like most celebrities, Jackson was also hounded by the media and some of his mad followers. One is reminded of Elvis Presley, who also rose to the height of fame and fortune and died an untimely death. Probably they both had problem in coming to terms with their name and fame.
In fact, there is another link between the two of them. Jackson was married to a daughter of Elvis Presley, Lisa Marie Presley, who was a singer and song-writer. But the marriage failed within two years. Jackson had to go through many difficulties like accusations of child molestation, drug addiction etc.
One could only feel sorry for both of them for they definitely had their unique talent. May their souls rest in peace!
