Millions of people around the world will never forget where they were and what they were doing on June 25, 2009, the day when electrifying news shook the airwaves. For one moment in time the whole world stood still! Couples who were making love abruptly stopped, people driving on the freeway pulled over, and thousands of folks called in sick to get-off work. The most important place to be on that day was not at work, not even The Ritz, the most important place to be on that day was glued to a TV set or listening to a radio. Unlike countless previous times this wasn’t fictitious celebrity gossip, THIS WAS IT and “THIS IS IT” was never going to happen.

TMZ.com was the first news network to accurately report events, followed by other news networks who cautiously confirmed reports. Yes, Armageddon had finally arrived for millions of Michael Jackson fans around the world, it was the final curtain, the END of a prolific and troubled legacy. Father of 3, son of 2, brother of 9, idol to millions! The King of Pop, Michael Joseph Jackson was pronounced dead on June 25th, 2009, cause of death heart attack, final verdict awaiting coroners report.

How? Why? When? Who Did It? The questions started firing in from every direction quicker than a bullet! Faster than the speed of lightening a media frenzy ignited. In life and in death only ONE man could captivate an audience like this, and dominate global media attention like a plague. The man in the mirror had gone, his reflection had vanished, yet his spirit & music lived on through the voice of the media, family, friends and his loyal FANS! Who was this man that millions of people loved & missed? What was so fantastic about Michael Jackson?
