Michael Jackson – 50 (1958 – 2009)

It has been decades since the passing of Michael Jackson, yet he continues to inspire contemporary musicians. According to Guinness, Michael was the “Most Successful Entertainer of All Time,” a testament to his incredible talents. Naturally, it devastated the world when the King of Pop passed away two days before his This Is It tour in 2009.

Jackson was survived by his three kids, Paris, Prince, and Blanket. Michael’s only daughter is currently making waves in the music industry after releasing her first album, Wilted, in 2020, while his sons are busy with charity work and college. What a legacy Michael has left behind!
