Sad news arrives this evening that pop legend Michael Jackson has died aged 50.  Exact details surrounding his death are still unclear at this time, but no doubt over the coming hours a statement will be released that will reveal all.

I don’t think i’ve ever done a disco where i’ve not played a tune that he has been involved in.  From ABC and I Want You Back by the Jackson 5 through to the classic 80’s hits Billie Jean, Thriller, Smooth Criminal and Bad.  These songs will continue to entertain folk for many many years to come i’m sure.  I have a prom tomorrow night, there is currently no Michael Jackson on the list, but that may all change.

He leaves a massive legacy behind, many many songs and a very colourful life to be remembered by.  As with all deaths, it is those who are left behind that suffer the most and my thoughts go out to the family and children.

But for now, RIP Michael Jackson – The undisputed King Of Pop.
