I was gutted last night when I was about to go to bed and I got a text from Sephi to tell me to watch sky news, I didn't believe it at first and then it slowly became a reality when I got a text from my brother and then a call from my Mum. I put on sky news and sure enough it was true that Michael Jackson had passed away.

To say I was upset is an understatement, I'm not one for shedding tears over celebrities but I am such a huge fan of his and have been all my life. I couldn't speak for about an hour I just sat and stared at the tv.

Lots of people texted and phoned to make sure I knew and to see if I was ok, which was nice even though all they got was incoherent babble lol!

It is truely the end of an era and he will be sorely missed not just by myself but by millions of others around the world.
His music will still bring a smile to my face and I still remember seeing him in concert even though it was 16 years ago :)
I remember starting school and listening to the bad album on my little tape walkman and then in primary 3 the Dangerous album came out and I went to the concert in '92 and then in my second year of high school the HIStory album came out closely followed by Blood on the dancefloor.
Its odd its like he has always been there :)

I do appreciate that not everyone was a fan of him and his lifestyle did lead to a lot of controversy but at the end of the day he will be remebered by his music and his amazing dancing.

Rest in peace MJ, you may be gone but you are not forgotten :)
Thoughts and well wishes go out to his 3 children and his family.
