Michael Jackson didn't live long enough to celebrate his 51st birthday but his fans remember him everyday. And today, 29th August, is a special day because it is King of Pop's birthday. Celebrate his life and music on this special occasion.

Over two months have passed since Michael Jackson died of suspected cardiac arrest on June 25 but people have not stopped talking about him. Media still keep hovering around his near and dear ones with the hope of striking upon a scoop. His music albums have been sold like hot cake after his demise.

Michael Jackson was famous not for nothing. The way he transformed the entertainment industry was incredible. He was set to hit the stage to entertain the people before death stopped his mission. He had been scheduled to perform 50 concerts at the O2 arena in London in July, which would end in 2010. The sold out shows were expected to earn him up to $50 million.

The world will continue to speculate on his life and his death itself but one thing is for sure – he has left a vacuum that nothing can replace. Michael, like any human being was not perfect but he was almost perfect as an artiste and entertainer if not completely perfect.

“If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with": Michael Jackson.
