It is Michael Jackson's 50th birthday today. He was the King of Pop and on top of the world. He ruled the 80s. Today he celebrates his birthday as a distrusted and humiliated weirdo - Wacko Jacko.
It's not many people who will experience as much as he has. He was the lead singer of Jackson Five when he was only five years old. He was 24 when he released the album "Thriller" - that still holds record for the most selling album ever. He was 35 when he was first accused of sexually abusing a 13 year old boy. It never went to court.
In 1994 he married Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of "The King" himself. They divorced in 1996. Later that same year, Jackson announced that Deborah Rowe, an assistant to his dermatologist, was pregnant with his child. The couple were married in Australia soon after his announcement. She gave birth to a son, Prince Michael Jackson Jr. A daughter, Paris Michael Katherine, was born in 1998. The couple was divorced in 1999. In 2002, under a veil of secrecy, a second son named Prince Michael II was added to the brood. The child's mother remains unnamed.
Rumours says he is working on a new album. It'll be interesting to see if he still got "it"!
So, happy birthday, Michael.
