However, with fame, came controversies and scandals—and Jackson, no matter how popular he is with his fans was not spared. Allegations of child molestations, his facial surgeries that altered his looks dramatically and his reclusive, bizaare lifestyle gave people a different perception of the pop star’s image, prompting them to call him ‘Wacko Jacko.’
Still, for all his foibles in recent years, Jackson was a music revolutionary who transcended racial boundaries and pioneered the use of music video clips. Also despite his woes his hardcore fans had stuck by him and believed he was capable of a successful comeback, which was planned through a series of sold out concerts in London’s O2 Arena.
Instinctively, people react to his music straight away. He is probably in pretty much every record collection, no matter what age or era. And growing up in the second half of the 20th century, his songs had been the core music. It is no surprise therefore, that even now that he’s gone, the King of Pop—and his music—will live on.
