10 Years After His Death, Remembering Michael Jackson’s Most Iconic Moments

Tuesday, June 25, 2019 marks the 10th anniversary of Michael Jackson‘s death.

The late singer died at the age of 50 in his rented L.A. mansion. He was rushed to hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest, which was brought on by a number of prescription drugs administered by his physician, Dr. Conrad Murray.

Jackson was known as the King of Pop, and with four decades worth of smash-hit pop music, he made an incredibly positive impact on the world of music.

Between 1979 and 1991, Jackson released hit after hit on each album, from Off the Wall to Dangerous, and was nothing short of a worldwide musical sensation. With record-defying success and an untouchable music career, the singer was practically invincible.

He may have been untouchable for a time, but Jackson’s favourable public reputation began to dwindle once the first sexual abuse allegation was made against him in 1993, and his personal life and career began to derail.

To this day, fans and followers remain divided on their opinions of the singer and the allegations against him, and Jackson’s lifelong legacy continues to be at stake — most notably with HBO’s recent and highly controversial four-hour documentary, Leaving Neverland, which aimed to expose the allegations against the singer.
