I haven’t posted anything for the past two days in respect of Michael Jackson’s passing. Before the site resumes back to normal, I wanted to just express, in a few words, what he meant to me. Please continue to share your thoughts and personal memories of him.

I don’t know what to say. I’ve written and re-written this post about 25 times. I finally realised it’s impossible to capture or summarise what Michael Jackson meant to me.

The King of Pop was someone I admired and looked up to all my life. Anyone who knows me personally knows this. One of my most treasured memories was of July 15^th 1997, the day I saw him live at Wembley Arena. A day I will never forget. A day I’m proud, more so today than every before, I witnessed.

3 days ago my idol tragically passed away. Even in death he broke records. Crashing many Internet sites including Google and occupying more than 10 positions in many charts around the world. Only Michael Jackson.

He passed way too soon and while I am still very much in shock, I understand his music and legacy will never die. The records Michael Jackson shattered will never been reached again. Fact. The songs he wrote will never be forgotten. Fact. And his magic and madness will never be duplicated. Fact.

…With that in mind I can find some solace in his passing.

“I was raised on the stage, it’s where I feel most comfortable. Everything else is difficult for me”

-Michael Jackson – 1958-2009.

Rest in Peace
