  The world will mourn the passing of a man who changed it.
  A man who changed music the one thing that unites us all!
  A man who touched our hearts and gave so much to those less fortunate.
  Michael Jackson, you will be missed, remembered and loved forever!

  I believe that he his legacy will live on forever.

  His music will still be recognised in generations to come.

  As for his Concerts I believe that they should dedicate tribute concerts. with today's technology im sure they can put together a great show using footage they have on hand. People will go to see a final tribute concert.

  Michael Jackson, our angel without wings I love you so much, it hurts. But losing you hurts even more. You're safe now, no one will ever hurt you again.
  

  You will live on eternally as an innocent angel in the hearts and minds of your legions of fans, myself included.
  

  I feel so honoured and blessed to have lived in this era where you ruled music and the Arts.
  

  We, your fans, vow to remember your legacy and finish the great work you started.

  Rest in Peace, my precious one xo

  i can't believe you have left us Micheal i idolised you as a kid, watched all your dance moves, loved the music you sang, collected all the memorabila, and Thriller was a highlight for me, and to this day still is. I will never forget listening to the lyrics you sang, i could relate to them so much. I was sick and tired of the media always slandering your image, i never belived any of it, just because you choose not to be like everyone else the media fed on it. Well you don't have to worry about it anymore, you can now RIP Micheal. My deepest sympathy to all of Michael's family and his 3 kids my thoughts and emotions go out to them, this indeed a sad day for music, and pop music in general, as he is and always will be the king of pop. All your fans will miss you , and we will never forget you.
