Michael Joseph Jackson (1958-2009) was without doubt the King of Pop. A career spanning from the 60's with the Jackson 5 to his solo career of the last 3 decades literally put him up there with the likes of Elvis, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. He died just a few weeks before his comeback tour at the O2 Arena. He will be missed but his music will live on.
