As reported world-wide, 'King of Pop' Michael Jackson died yesterday June 25th in Los Angeles after suffering cardiac arrest. Jackson - whose 1982 release Thriller is the biggest selling album of all time - had enjoyed a long and phenomenally succesful career both as a solo artist and member of The Jackson 5. His film work includes a memorable performance as the Scarecrow in Sidney Lumet's The Wiz (1978), in addition to countless soundtrack credits. Jackson's death comes as he was preparing to launch a fifty date comeback residency at London's O2 Arena. The star had suffered from health problems since the early nineties and his changing appearance, bizarre behaviour and allegations of child-abuse had tarnished his reputation in recent years. However his musical legacy in indisputable, and his death has sent shockwaves through-out the world of entertainment.
