Answer 3

Michael Jackson first became known to the public as a small child in the group The Jackson 5. The Jackson 5 was a singing group made up of Michael Jackson and four of his older brothers. As a young man, Michael Jackson began a solo career and became extremely popular with his hits "Beat It" and "Thriller". He's made multiple albums before his death in 2009.

Answer 4

Michael Jackson was the young star in The Jackson Five with his older brothers. He made millions of young teens swoon in the 1960s with his singing "I'll be There" and "Ben", to name two songs. He went on to create the dance step "the moon walk" and made a one-handed white glove iconic symbols for himself. His ownership of Neverland, with its zoo and carnival rides came at his height in the music industry, but would also lead to his decline as an iconic and very successful Pop Music figure.

Many young people will only remember M.J. now as being accused of child sexual abuse, and though not found guilty, many people still dislike his fondness of and supposedly his lack of physical and emotional boundaries with children.

His over-protectiveness of his two children raised many eyebrows around the world. The children wore masks whenever in public; they had not been seen in the general public without masks until M.J.'s memorial.

He will also be remembered as the first person to die at home from a physician's misuse of a powerful surgical medication called Propofol. Propofol should only be used in a surgical suite with ongoing monitoring for a person's breathing, but a private physician (who was later tried and jailed for causing M.J.'s death) administered this drug to Michael Jackson in M.J.'s bedroom and reportedly did not monitor the drug or the patient.

Michael Jackson had been preparing for a new world tour in the weeks prior to his death. Though viewed as an aging, disgraced, and drug-dependent has-been, many believed the world tour might have made a come back for the pop star. In the years since his death, more people have bought Michael Jackson's music than when he was alive (which had already been high sales).
