He died last Thursday, 25 June 2009.
I remember that the traffic (on my way to work) was clear with every radio stations playing his songs - a lot of people were shocked, I guess.
To many, he's a complete entertainer - he could dance, he could sing and most importantly he wrote beautiful songs.
That's why many were shocked.
While people are still arguing why he died, I guess we can pretty much conclude with one word:
Pressure.
Imagine, 50 concerts at the age of 50.
And the long-awaited come back was certainly something that put further weight on his shoulders - at least from his last rehearsal (luckily, documented) he was rehearsing well and it was said that the concert will be something "big and amazing" (with 3D thing... erm, it doesn't matter now)
Plus, a Virgo like him, who is perfectionist, would want his body, his dancing, his singing at tip top condition.
All these = pressure
No matter what, he had brought big impact on pop culture, at least he is still by far the most complete entertainer that we know.
At least we are lucky to witness him alive and performing - with the music industry nowadays, I don't foresee we'll see any complete entertainer like him.
At least, Michael Jackson was a perfect entertainer.
He will rest in peace for sure.
