The King of Pop, Michael Jackson, died at his home in Los Angeles on June 25 2009, following a heart attack caused by a combination of drugs supplied by his doctor, Conrad Murray.
Michael Jackson started his music career as a member of the Jackson 5, which was founded by his father Joe Jackson and siblings Marlon, Jackie, Tito and Jermaine.
The band’s hit song, I Want You Back, reached number one on Billboard Hot 100 in the US.
In 1971, Michael decided to go solo and leave the Jackson 5, later releasing four solo albums with Motown within a three-year-period.
His career continued to go from strength to strength, releasing tunes including Thriller, Bad, Smooth Criminal, Man In The Mirror and many more.
