Remembering the King of Pop
Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, would have been 67 today.
Jackson is considered one of the greatest entertainers of all time. His music broke through racial barriers, selling over 500 million records worldwide. He had 13 No. 1 songs, 13 Grammy Awards, and was inducted twice into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!
With all the accolades, he also courted controversy with his changing appearance, bizarre behavior, and allegations of child sexual abuse.
Jackson died June 25, 2009, at the age of 50, when he was administered a fatal dose of propofol by his personal physician, Conrad Murray. Murray was later convicted of involuntary manslaughter.
Jackson is survived by his three children, Prince, Paris, and Bigi (also known as Blanket). Prince Jackson just revealed he is engaged to be married to his longtime girlfriend, Molly.

Bigi Jackson is more private than his siblings. He is said to be into film, and even tried to launch a YouTube movie review channel with his older brother, Prince.
