 “This is it, this really is it,” emphasized Michael Jackson at last official public appearance.
Obituaries, commentaries, and speculation abound in the wake of the announcement of the death of this globally popular icon. As England anxiously awaited the launch of his comeback tour, the end was best summarized in the UK’s Telegraph which stated, “The self-styled King of Pop is dead. There was to be no triumphant comeback just a final bizarre twist in pop’s strangest soap opera.”
Many comments are perhaps reminiscent of the tragic death of Elvis Presley. Liza Minnelli told CBS’s “The Early Show” that she believes the late singer’s autopsy results are going to cause quite a stir. “All of us who knew him well really know what he was like,” she said. “And I’m sure that now the accolades are going, and I’m sure when the autopsy comes, all hell’s going to break loose. So, thank God we’re celebrating him now.”
The intrigue deepens as new announcements of an impounded BMW, mysterious and missing doctors, etc., are issued by the minute. In the end, this is another sad story of the sudden extinguishment of a bright star that enjoyed the success and suffered from the excesses of a meteoritic career.
