This is a moment in history where you can remember exactly what you were doing when you heard the news. It’s burned in my memory. Rest In Peace king, almost nine years later.
I was sitting with my mom when my dad came to us and said "Michael Jackson had a heart attack!" and I thought he was joking at first so I turned on CNN and they said he was in a coma at the hospital. I knew it was bad and when they announced his death I was so shocked. I just couldn't believe it was reality.
I was 16 years old, me and my friends were heading out at a party, and one of our friends got a message saying he’d died!! I just thought it was a big joke!! Didn’t seem real!! I was a big fan of his, and it’s just a death that you struggle to accept and come to terms with!!! R.I.P Michael Jackson!!! He will live on through music long after we’ve all gone!
Damn right hell yes. I was playing wow and tv was next to me announcing his death. At first i didnt seem to care much but after i realized it sure hit me
Yes I go back on this video and oh how I wish they said he is just hospitalised and is getting better..no one thought that this would end up with death
it's insane how everyone still remembers the day he died, what they were doing when they heard the news and how they reacted. there is never going tobe a superstar like him
I remember being a child off the grid, at my grandma's house in the mountains in Africa and my uncle brought the news I remember feeling sad even though back then I never listened to Michael, I only heard of him.
I remember I was 6 going on 7 and I was taking a bath, and my mom walked in and I overheard my cousin on the phone with her saying that he died. I was like “Who is Michael Jackson?” With a disappointed look she said “He was a famous singer” and from that day on I’ve been a fan of him.
I watched this in school and everyone in my class including my teachers were not the same for weeks. No one laughed, no one smiled, and no one tryed to make it light and i felt the same as everyone else to. r.i.p. the king of pop you were an amazing singer and dancer you won't suffer from any issues now...cant wait to see you in heaven.
I felt the same. I was studying high school in Bangkok at the time. That day I had an exam and I completely failed it, but didn’t care. I was affected by his death.
His death was like one of those moments, like 9/11 everyone knew what they were doing and where they were that day. When he died the whole world literally paused. Every kid, every teenager, every adult, every senior was speechless. Google literally crashed because of how many times people were searching if he died or not. His funeral was one of most viewed funerals of all time. Never will the world see in a million years, another megastar like Michael Jackson.
It's crazy how this was also a world wide phenomenon. I'm German and I was 12 years old when he died and I remember the entire day like it was yesterday. Literally pictured the scenes inside of my head. And as you said, the only time I remember where it's similar is 9/11. I still know when I went to school and the first thing my friend said to me is that MJ is dead. First thing my chemistry teacher said was that MJ is dead. When I got home, my mom told me that MJ is dead like he was some kind of relative. The entire day was fucking surreal.
During the 911 call they just said “there’s a gentleman here and he’s not breathing.” Imagine walking in that room and that gentleman is Michael Jackson.
One of the saddest days of my life. I will never forget the moment I learned he passed. I cried for the rest of the day. On my way home, we were stuck in traffic and everyone had their windows down, blasting Michael's music.
I was 15-16 when it happened. It was so sad. I just remembered getting on TH-cam and watching all his videos and interviews and getting to know him. And just falling in love with him and his music.
I remember being young, sitting downstairs on the couch, and crying seeing the news report. I couldn’t believe he was gone, I still can’t. Really goes to show how lively his presence was, that even after death it feels like he’s still with us. Like another comment, I heard people playing his music at full volume outside. Cars, houses, never can forget that day.
On the weekend before his death, I had a huge urge to play a bunch of Michael Jackson songs. I went through my Off The Wall, Thriller and Bad albums all on that Sunday. I hardly ever played MJ during those days, but that day, I had to hear him. Then a few days later, he died. I believe his spirit was speaking to me. I've been a fan since I was 8 years old. I cried like a baby when he died.
... Seems like that happened to a lot of people. Kinda weird. Happened to me too. And judging from most people I talked to when it happened and from the comments A lot of people for no apparent reason felt an urge to play his music a month before he died. And I remember MTV playing the Jackson 5 movie only a couple days before he died. And that movie rarely ever came on back then... Anyway. Interesting.
:( so sad... Personnally i remember in my country it was night time when he died, but i didn't know it yet. But i remember that night i saw a shooting star (for the first time in my life) in the sky ! I can't stop thinking it was him, leaving this planet to where he belongs now.
15 years later this still hurts but he will always be remembered as one of the greatest entertainers in the history of music and the light that led people out of the darkest times
I remember being glued to the t v that day and watching this all live.... 😢... I can only imagine that it would be the same feeling as hearing that john lennon got shot, elvis presley died, etc.... sad day indeed!
In my lifetime, I've never cried over a famous person's death except for when Michael Jackson died. I was watching the coverage of his hospitalization live on CNN, and when Wolf Blitzer confirmed that he had died, my heart dropped. I grew up being a die hard fan of Michael. One of the fondest memories I have is that I owned the red zipper jacket, a glove, and the black slacks and I would imitate him in the Beat It and Thriller videos in the living room of my childhood home. When he died, a part of me died with him. As a matter of fact, my childhood died on June 25, 2009. By far one of the saddest days of my life.
I remember being 8 years old when this happened and my mom telling me how big of a deal this was. I didn't really understand because I didn't realize how big Michael was, but now I realize that he was the greatest performer of all time. RIP king of pop.
God, I was 11 years old when he died. The whole world stopped breathing, they talked about his death and celebrated his music in the media for almost a year. I cried so much and I can't believe it's been 11 years. Love u michael, he will never be forgotten ❤️
Even though I was 7 years old, I had no idea who Michael Jackson was, and me and my sister were in tears. I became a huge fan right then, and I still am to this very day. Rest In Peace Michael, we love you!!
@@Coffeeisnecessarynowpepper I was just in my room that I shared with my two sisters, my mom had put it on the news when the news anchor said a man was rushed to the hospital, then ABC News cut in and said it was Michael. My dad had just got done cooking and as soon as we sat down, the news came out that Michael Jackson had died.
My grandfather died the same day. MJ's death was barely a story in my house. When my mom told me Michael died she did it with absolutely no emotion whatsoever because she was feeling so sad for my bereaved dad. It's a bit of an out of body experience watching the entire world react in shock when arguably the most famous human on the planet dies and the news doesn't really register because you're already dealing with a personal loss.
@@adrianjengo5142 what? Michael Jackson was just a human being created by God. He believed in God and worshiped Him, and he wouldn’t like you calling him a god. He hated that.
@@shr4811yeah but be on the same page of MJ dude he literally hated being called a god so you disrespecting him by doing so. Only one God and that’s the Lord my guy but Michael Jackson was more than happy to be the King of pop
I was only 4 and I still remember his death vividly. I knew ‘Michael Jackson died’ before I had any idea who MJ was or had listened to any of his music.
I remember when I was 7 year old standing middle of the living room with my mom talking about him on the news didn't know who he was or what was going on until my mom explained who he was and saying he just passed away the next day mtv was showing all his music videos and I watch and listen to all of them that when I started listening to his music and started beening fan of MICHAEL JACKSON 😇💗
I think one of the things truly messed up about when Michael Jackson died is that for years he had been a laughingstock in the press and media, anytime somebody reported about him it was showing him in a bad light, "wacko jacko this, wacko jacko that". it's like they had completely forgotten that in the 80s and 90s he had been one of the biggest stars on the planet who had once sold out stadiums, and had sold millions of records, he had made some of the best selling music in history, he was also one of the first entertainers to break the color barrier on MTV when his music videos for his song thriller and Billie Jean first aired. It's like they forgot all that when they criticized his appearance, his voice, anything that they could do to get ratings and viewings at his expence. Hollywood wasn't any better, there were tons of jokes, and gags making fun of him that were inserted into movies at the time just for the sake of keeping them current. After Michael Jackson passed on, all the sudden everybody, including those who had made fun of him were suddenly praising him and saying how much they loved him and how he was one of the greatest entertainers of all time and the world will never be the same again without him. Here I am thinking "why couldn't they have said all those things when he was alive?" It might have even helped save his life!
Frenchanator I totally agree. Honestly, you spoke my mind. Jackson deserved more honor and respect, but honestly when he was still alive and well, doing the best he could, they didn’t care, but all of a sudden when they hear he has died, they want to show respect. Its so messed up I can’t even explain it. I personally love his music and still listen to it once in a while, but honestly, hearing his music makes me want to cry. I didn’t know he even existed in 2011, because I was too young to understand, and I wish I DID understand. But, all I’m trying to say is that I totally agree with you, and that I personally think Michael deserved more respect for his talent AND personality, because he was trying to raise the money he was earning to make a children’s hospital. That is so nice and generous I’m breathtaken. But yeah, I totally agree with you.
I was grateful to see this text in my mind I always had this thought like before “South Park” “scary movie” “Katt Williams” etc etc Hollywood shamed this men and even with the “leaving neverland” then after it’s tears and oh I always been a fan it’s not right I look at it as hell on earth no matter how big you can get like MJ was this is not cool at all
I remember walking down the street that evening and every business, every car that drove by, every apartment with their window open - all playing some sort of MJ song.
Almost every radio station was playing Michael Jackson songs. I drove around in complete shock with my windows rolled down and my volume at full blast.
I was 5 years old, watching this in my mother's room on this big TV. Its been 11 years and I still remember where I was, what I was doing. Its one of those moments I'll never forget.
The first pop star that I got into as a kid, was Michael Jackson. The first concert that I ever attended, was Michael Jackson ("History", 1996). I remember clearly going to the hotel, and running up to the car, and banging on the window, and being up close to the King of Pop, who was wearing a black hat, sunglasses, and a red shirt. He had a smile on his face. I made him smile. I will always remember that moment. And I thought about it the day that I heard the sad news, that MJ was gone. Since returning to LA, I have stood outside the gates of the home he died at, and visited his tomb, to pay my respects. Rest in Peace Michael.
I cried so hard when I heard the news. he never got to be a kid it messed up his life psychologically so bad yet he gave his all for us with his singing and entertaining.
Micheal was killed so many times while he was alive, his father abused him,media tabloids killed him, greedy people around him, haters and jaleous people who were around him thats why he was not able to sleep, he was so hurt and depressed, poor guy he does no deserve what happened to him he gave so much happiness and love to his fans, and entertained us for decades he was the king of all times , RIP MJ
I remember telling my older sister, who was napping on the couch, about MJ's passing: "Hey, have you heard the news about Michael Jackson?" "(sleepy groan)" "He's dead" "(sits up immediately) *WHAT?!* "
i remember this as it happened yesterday. I was not a big jackson fan. what was astounding to me was how so many races, religions, musical taste all mourned Jackson. The LA Radio stations, English , Spanish, Chinese , Korean, Russian, middle eastern, all played his music and spoke of the giant Jackson was. That i will never forget.
Angeline Adkins Ok sorry but u CAN NOT say that michael jacksons death was one of the worst moments in history. Thats just being so stupid and inconciderate to say
I just watched this for the first time, and it felt like it literally just happened right in front of my eyes. 😥 Rest In Peace Michael. Your legacy will forever live through your music and in our hearts ❤️❤️❤️
I was only 12 when Michael Jackson died. I remember my mom and dad called me to the living room. I went and that's when the broadcast came on. I broke down and sobbed. I swear on my life that I saw my parents cry too. It was such a painful moment for my family, since we are all Michael fans. Both MJ's death and my father's death a few years later was like a punch in the gut. It was Hell that day.
I never was a fan of his music, but I remember the day very well. I was shopping at a store with some friends for my 17th birthday. Some other customers started shouting throughout the store “oh my god Michael Jackson is dead!” That night we went out to dinner, and the workers in the restaurant were blaring his songs from the kitchen. I’ve never seen so many random people in a panic over a celebrity’s death.
When I went to Atlanta the day after he died, people were talking about his death on the Marta train. People were blasting Michael Jackson music on the streets downtown and selling t shirts with his image.
I was 8 and I remember seeing the news report of Michael's death. My mother was very upset. As I went on with my life, I discovered his music. Still one of my favorite artists. RIP the KING OF POP
I remember exactly watching the news the day he died, I was 9 years old and I was sick at my babysitters house, I remember seeing this on the news and I was devastated. Miss him❤
I was two when he died. I don't really remember anything which I'm thankful for becuase I know that moment probably would have been one of the saddest days of my life. When I was in fourth grade I was obsessed with him. I still am to this day, I miss him a lot. R.I.P Michael Jackson 👑
I was outside playing catch with one of my older brothers, and my other older brother came outside and said “y’all, Mike’s dead!” “Who, Mike Tyson?” “Nah man, Michael Jackson!” I stopped, the street was cold. Really cold. The neighborhood was cold. We laid out all of our old cassette tapes and cds with Mike’s songs and anything else we could find, and didn’t do anything for the rest of the day. The whole neighborhood came together and we took a moment of silence. It makes me sad even now.
Mike Tyson?! You are so nuts! But seriously, you had some false accusations going on. My parents did not feel bad as it was an honest mistake. Strict no offense.
i remember watching this in my living room and just falling to the ground crying for days, this was such a heartbreaking time. We miss you everyday. Rest In Peace my love ❤️
Today 14 years ago today my life changed forever. I was only 6 years old and devastated by the news to the point where I became such a huge fan and still till this day I am a huge Michael fan. Rest In Peace Michael your legacy continues to live on.
Something that always gives me chills. My cousin said that he was watching at school and after that nobody could even concentrate, not even teachers. There was only one point where they just closed the school for one day because nobody could concentrate. So sad. :(
Even though I already knew what happend, I still felt shocked and heart broken when that reporter said "Michael Jackson has died". So chilling and insane that they where reporting his trip to the hospital, then his coma then his death. Everything about him was so huge. It was like a king dying.
I was three when this happened and I remember my dad coming home from work telling us that he was dead..I loved this dude from the bottom of my heart and even at he age of three I cried and sobbed my eyes out...
I remember going downstairs because I couldn't sleep, turning the TV on and seeing this all over the news! Woke the whole house up and we sat up for hours just watching in disbelief..... there will never be another King!!! Absolute legend
My mama and I were coming home from Walmart when they announced his cardiac arrest on the radio, then we were home watching the news when they announced his death...chills were sent down my spine automatically. Can't believe it's been 9 years already! RIP Mike 😔
Man, this was a crazy day for sure. Remember it like it was yesterday. Cried the entire day. Cried at school afterwards, and all my friends were asking why would I cry over a celebrity death. And I'm just like... are you serious? It's Michael Jackson, bro.
i just can't even imagine that the king of pop Michael Jackson was gone too soon! this is one of the saddest deaths I've ever witnessed! We love you Michael, Rest In Peace!
It was the saddest day so far in my life. I received an alert SMS on my phone of his death. I could not believe it then and I could not come to terms with it even now; on top we lost Whitney, Donna, and Goerge Michael along the way. What a great loss!
I remember exactly what I was doing when this day happened. I had came back home from being out all day because I was at my grandmas house, and I was still pretty little like i was going into first grade. But I remember seeing my mom sitting on the couch crying and telling my sister and I that Michel had been put into the hospital, and everyone just sat on the couch and watched as the news reporters said that he had died, that day just burns my brain because i was still pretty young RIP Michel
I became a fan of MJ back in middle school, 2007, through a friend. At the time so many were telling me he was a bad guy so I was a little hesitant to listen to his music and my god the moment I heard him sing, I was mesmerized. I soon began to investigate his past, his moments, the accusations. I watched his movies, his music videos, read books about him, and bought all movies he was in and albums. You could say I got obsessed with him because I had photos of him EVERYWHERE to the point where my parents got worried. I'd defend him from haters. I still remember June 25th. I was already on my last year of middle school and I had the best day of my life, when they took me home, my sister came out running these words: "Michael Jackson Died!" I dropped everything and ran inside and sure enough, every news channel had the headlines. I was too in shock to cry so I just listened to his albums all day long. The day it sunk in for me was his memorial and I cried, but I cried the hardest in the movie theater when I went to go watch "This Is It." Such an ironic title. I still love him and I still miss him. Love you MJ! You will always be the King of Pop!
Idk why but when Kobe passed this year and and how that whole week was all about kobe on everything it felt exactly like when mj passed except i remember almost the whole summer of 2009 being about mj
I was 8 years old an on vacation when he died, I didn’t really know who he was at the time, but it’s all anyone was talking about. Later when I was around 14 years old I fell in love with him.
I’ll never forget when i saw the news i was taking a shower and as i was drying off i heard the Motown 25 billie jean performance playing (I thought the movie the jacksons was on) so i ran to the living room after getting dressed and saw on the screen “Michael Jackson possibly dead” and my heart sank and kept wishing it wasn’t true
I got up in the morning to and my mom called me saying Michael Jackson is in the hospital. I told her he'll be fine. I sat down on the couch watching ALL of the news stations covering it as reports came in. He collapsed, or he had a heart attack. Then finally after a while, they announced he had died. I sat there quiet in shock. My family started calling each other about the news. I was 18 and crying. I couldn't believe he was so young and died.
I remember when he passed away I was a kid it was everywhere it was on the news everyone at my school was talking about it my family was shocked it was a crazy time the world lost a wonderful artist!
The day he died, internet crashed...that's how powerful his influence is to the world

Today marks 15 years... I still remember that day. Love you Michael ❤...
1:41 gives me chills when he says that
Yes. But I was waking from a nap.
15 years later this still hurts but he will always be remembered as one of the greatest entertainers in the history of music and the light that led people out of the darkest times
you know 15 years have passed away. still can't believe..

When that first man announced his death, my heart raced and I just couldn’t help but cry 😢❤️
I remember being glued to the t v that day and watching this all live.... 😢... I can only imagine that it would be the same feeling as hearing that john lennon got shot, elvis presley died, etc.... sad day indeed!
In my lifetime, I've never cried over a famous person's death except for when Michael Jackson died. I was watching the coverage of his hospitalization live on CNN, and when Wolf Blitzer confirmed that he had died, my heart dropped. I grew up being a die hard fan of Michael. One of the fondest memories I have is that I owned the red zipper jacket, a glove, and the black slacks and I would imitate him in the Beat It and Thriller videos in the living room of my childhood home. When he died, a part of me died with him. As a matter of fact, my childhood died on June 25, 2009. By far one of the saddest days of my life.
I remember being 8 years old when this happened and my mom telling me how big of a deal this was. I didn't really understand because I didn't realize how big Michael was, but now I realize that he was the greatest performer of all time. RIP king of pop.
God, I was 11 years old when he died. The whole world stopped breathing, they talked about his death and celebrated his music in the media for almost a year. I cried so much and I can't believe it's been 11 years. Love u michael, he will never be forgotten ❤️
I was too!!! I was having a pool party after my 11th bday and the radio was playing!! Then it was announced, and we were all crying. Day ruined 😢
Even though I was 7 years old, I had no idea who Michael Jackson was, and me and my sister were in tears. I became a huge fan right then, and I still am to this very day. Rest In Peace Michael, we love you!!
I was 17 years old didn't know who Michael jackson was
@@Coffeeisnecessarynowpepper I was just in my room that I shared with my two sisters, my mom had put it on the news when the news anchor said a man was rushed to the hospital, then ABC News cut in and said it was Michael. My dad had just got done cooking and as soon as we sat down, the news came out that Michael Jackson had died.
I played Michael jackson at my friend's funeral in 2014
@@Coffeeisnecessarynowpepper I wanted to play Michael Jackson and prince for my mom’s funeral in 2016, but I ended up doing so the next day.
I was 19 years old at the time when I was got out of the Shower.
My grandfather died the same day. MJ's death was barely a story in my house. When my mom told me Michael died she did it with absolutely no emotion whatsoever because she was feeling so sad for my bereaved dad. It's a bit of an out of body experience watching the entire world react in shock when arguably the most famous human on the planet dies and the news doesn't really register because you're already dealing with a personal loss.
Thats crazy dude
As soon as I heard the news, I blasted Man In the Mirror in my apartment...5 minutes later everyone in my building was blasting an MJ song. Sad Day.
me to im sad to but i wos alone he was my god
the rael god
@@adrianjengo5142 what? Michael Jackson was just a human being created by God. He believed in God and worshiped Him, and he wouldn’t like you calling him a god. He hated that.
@GreekOrthodox7 Stop acting like a big head! He's my God, too. Keep your beliefs for yourself. People don't have to be on the same page with U!
@@shr4811yeah but be on the same page of MJ dude he literally hated being called a god so you disrespecting him by doing so. Only one God and that’s the Lord my guy but Michael Jackson was more than happy to be the King of pop
This popped up in my recommendations now after Kobe passed away....
Talk about another beloved Virgo.
I was 22 and a huge fan... i couldnt believe he died. I cried for a month. Still wish he was still alive. Rest in Love King ❤️
I was only 4 and I still remember his death vividly. I knew ‘Michael Jackson died’ before I had any idea who MJ was or had listened to any of his music.
😭😭😭😭😭 watching this after 10 yrs is still makin me cry. R.I.P
I remember when I was 7 year old standing middle of the living room with my mom talking about him on the news didn't know who he was or what was going on until my mom explained who he was and saying he just passed away the next day mtv was showing all his music videos and I watch and listen to all of them that when I started listening to his music and started beening fan of MICHAEL JACKSON 😇💗
Skylar Green SAME!
Dude same! Its sad that i became a fan after his death tho.
Skylar Green same but i was 8
I think one of the things truly messed up about when Michael Jackson died is that for years he had been a laughingstock in the press and media, anytime somebody reported about him it was showing him in a bad light, "wacko jacko this, wacko jacko that". it's like they had completely forgotten that in the 80s and 90s he had been one of the biggest stars on the planet who had once sold out stadiums, and had sold millions of records, he had made some of the best selling music in history, he was also one of the first entertainers to break the color barrier on MTV when his music videos for his song thriller and Billie Jean first aired. It's like they forgot all that when they criticized his appearance, his voice, anything that they could do to get ratings and viewings at his expence. Hollywood wasn't any better, there were tons of jokes, and gags making fun of him that were inserted into movies at the time just for the sake of keeping them current.
After Michael Jackson passed on, all the sudden everybody, including those who had made fun of him were suddenly praising him and saying how much they loved him and how he was one of the greatest entertainers of all time and the world will never be the same again without him.
Here I am thinking "why couldn't they have said all those things when he was alive?" It might have even helped save his life!
Frenchanator I totally agree. Honestly, you spoke my mind. Jackson deserved more honor and respect, but honestly when he was still alive and well, doing the best he could, they didn’t care, but all of a sudden when they hear he has died, they want to show respect. Its so messed up I can’t even explain it. I personally love his music and still listen to it once in a while, but honestly, hearing his music makes me want to cry. I didn’t know he even existed in 2011, because I was too young to understand, and I wish I DID understand. But, all I’m trying to say is that I totally agree with you, and that I personally think Michael deserved more respect for his talent AND personality, because he was trying to raise the money he was earning to make a children’s hospital. That is so nice and generous I’m breathtaken. But yeah, I totally agree with you.
Lots of people used him for money, he didn't deserve what he went through💔
I was grateful to see this text in my mind I always had this thought like before “South Park” “scary movie” “Katt Williams” etc etc Hollywood shamed this men and even with the “leaving neverland” then after it’s tears and oh I always been a fan it’s not right I look at it as hell on earth no matter how big you can get like MJ was this is not cool at all
I remember walking down the street that evening and every business, every car that drove by, every apartment with their window open - all playing some sort of MJ song.
Almost every radio station was playing Michael Jackson songs. I drove around in complete shock with my windows rolled down and my volume at full blast.
Man all of Chicago shut down that day
It was like that in downtown Atlanta right after he died
1:37 Words that would change the world forever…
Who else is watching this in 2022? RIP, Michael Jackson will never be forgotten 🕊
I was 9 years old and I still remember this day vividly
I was 5 years old, watching this in my mother's room on this big TV. Its been 11 years and I still remember where I was, what I was doing. Its one of those moments I'll never forget.
The first pop star that I got into as a kid, was Michael Jackson. The first concert that I ever attended, was Michael Jackson ("History", 1996). I remember clearly going to the hotel, and running up to the car, and banging on the window, and being up close to the King of Pop, who was wearing a black hat, sunglasses, and a red shirt. He had a smile on his face. I made him smile. I will always remember that moment. And I thought about it the day that I heard the sad news, that MJ was gone. Since returning to LA, I have stood outside the gates of the home he died at, and visited his tomb, to pay my respects. Rest in Peace Michael.
Anyone weirdly here after Kobe died?
Conner Lamb yes. Just in mourning of all our legends 😥
Yes :(
Yeah it made me curious how the world reacted to an even bigger persons death😢😢
I'm still so sad when I was 5 I saw the news I almost cried
I cried so hard when I heard the news. he never got to be a kid it messed up his life psychologically so bad yet he gave his all for us with his singing and entertaining.
Micheal was killed so many times while he was alive, his father abused him,media tabloids killed him, greedy people around him, haters and jaleous people who were around him thats why he was not able to sleep, he was so hurt and depressed, poor guy he does no deserve what happened to him he gave so much happiness and love to his fans, and entertained us for decades he was the king of all times , RIP MJ
I remember telling my older sister, who was napping on the couch, about MJ's passing:
"Hey, have you heard the news about Michael Jackson?"
"(sleepy groan)"
"He's dead"
"(sits up immediately) *WHAT?!* "

Wan I here the new that Michael Jackson's death I was like what the hell he is just 50 years old
i remember this as it happened yesterday. I was not a big jackson fan. what was astounding to me was how so many races, religions, musical taste all mourned Jackson. The LA Radio stations, English , Spanish, Chinese , Korean, Russian, middle eastern, all played his music and spoke of the giant Jackson was. That i will never forget.
Damn straight
💔 one of the worst moments of history.... r.i.p michael 9 years ago.. the world has and will never be the same!

I just watched this for the first time, and it felt like it literally just happened right in front of my eyes. 😥 Rest In Peace Michael. Your legacy will forever live through your music and in our hearts ❤️❤️❤️
My 16 year old self could not handle it then, and I still can’t handle it now. Miss you MJ.
i got chills with they said he died now thats fucked
I was only 12 when Michael Jackson died. I remember my mom and dad called me to the living room. I went and that's when the broadcast came on. I broke down and sobbed. I swear on my life that I saw my parents cry too. It was such a painful moment for my family, since we are all Michael fans. Both MJ's death and my father's death a few years later was like a punch in the gut. It was Hell that day.
1:33 I woke up, but not before fainting in bed from all that channel surfing.
I watched it all happen live... watching this years later it still gives me chills.
Over a decade later, music industry hasn't been the same since this man passed away.
I never was a fan of his music, but I remember the day very well. I was shopping at a store with some friends for my 17th birthday. Some other customers started shouting throughout the store “oh my god Michael Jackson is dead!” That night we went out to dinner, and the workers in the restaurant were blaring his songs from the kitchen. I’ve never seen so many random people in a panic over a celebrity’s death.
Where I went to Walmart, people remained calm despite the news going on.
When I went to Atlanta the day after he died, people were talking about his death on the Marta train. People were blasting Michael Jackson music on the streets downtown and selling t shirts with his image.
I was 8 and I remember seeing the news report of Michael's death. My mother was very upset. As I went on with my life, I discovered his music. Still one of my favorite artists. RIP the KING OF POP
I’m 17 and I’m starting to get into him. I didn’t actually grow up with him and I was only 4 when he died so I don’t remember it.
I remember exactly watching the news the day he died, I was 9 years old and I was sick at my babysitters house, I remember seeing this on the news and I was devastated. Miss him❤
I was two when he died. I don't really remember anything which I'm thankful for becuase I know that moment probably would have been one of the saddest days of my life. When I was in fourth grade I was obsessed with him. I still am to this day, I miss him a lot. R.I.P Michael Jackson 👑
I was outside playing catch with one of my older brothers, and my other older brother came outside and said “y’all, Mike’s dead!”
“Who, Mike Tyson?”
“Nah man, Michael Jackson!”
I stopped, the street was cold. Really cold. The neighborhood was cold. We laid out all of our old cassette tapes and cds with Mike’s songs and anything else we could find, and didn’t do anything for the rest of the day. The whole neighborhood came together and we took a moment of silence. It makes me sad even now.
It feels like everybody remembers that day
Mike Tyson?! You are so nuts!
But seriously, you had some false accusations going on. My parents did not feel bad as it was an honest mistake. Strict no offense.
i remember watching this in my living room and just falling to the ground crying for days, this was such a heartbreaking time. We miss you everyday. Rest In Peace my love ❤️
Today 14 years ago today my life changed forever. I was only 6 years old and devastated by the news to the point where I became such a huge fan and still till this day I am a huge Michael fan. Rest In Peace Michael your legacy continues to live on.
I remember watching this on tv . I was on summer break starting my 7th grade year and hearing he passed . I was so sad .
12 years later and it still hits like a train
The reporters were like, "Oh so Michael Jackson is dead, so, yeah."
Something that always gives me chills. My cousin said that he was watching at school and after that nobody could even concentrate, not even teachers. There was only one point where they just closed the school for one day because nobody could concentrate. So sad. :(
today makes 11 years since this tragic moment. i can’t believe the king of pop has been gone for so long already. R.I.P michael jackson💔
Even though I already knew what happend, I still felt shocked and heart broken when that reporter said "Michael Jackson has died".
So chilling and insane that they where reporting his trip to the hospital, then his coma then his death. Everything about him was so huge. It was like a king dying.
Well it was actually a king dying
@@georgia7438
The King of Pop and practically the king of music!
The world stopped that day
I was three when this happened and I remember my dad coming home from work telling us that he was dead..I loved this dude from the bottom of my heart and even at he age of three I cried and sobbed my eyes out...
I remember going downstairs because I couldn't sleep, turning the TV on and seeing this all over the news! Woke the whole house up and we sat up for hours just watching in disbelief..... there will never be another King!!! Absolute legend
My mama and I were coming home from Walmart when they announced his cardiac arrest on the radio, then we were home watching the news when they announced his death...chills were sent down my spine automatically. Can't believe it's been 9 years already! RIP Mike 😔
Man, this was a crazy day for sure. Remember it like it was yesterday. Cried the entire day. Cried at school afterwards, and all my friends were asking why would I cry over a celebrity death. And I'm just like... are you serious? It's Michael Jackson, bro.
i just can't even imagine that the king of pop Michael Jackson was gone too soon! this is one of the saddest deaths I've ever witnessed! We love you Michael, Rest In Peace!
It was the saddest day so far in my life. I received an alert SMS on my phone of his death. I could not believe it then and I could not come to terms with it even now; on top we lost Whitney, Donna, and Goerge Michael along the way. What a great loss!
It’s simply just amazing how many years have flied by. RIP MJ
I remember exactly what I was doing when this day happened. I had came back home from being out all day because I was at my grandmas house, and I was still pretty little like i was going into first grade. But I remember seeing my mom sitting on the couch crying and telling my sister and I that Michel had been put into the hospital, and everyone just sat on the couch and watched as the news reporters said that he had died, that day just burns my brain because i was still pretty young RIP Michel
I became a fan of MJ back in middle school, 2007, through a friend. At the time so many were telling me he was a bad guy so I was a little hesitant to listen to his music and my god the moment I heard him sing, I was mesmerized. I soon began to investigate his past, his moments, the accusations. I watched his movies, his music videos, read books about him, and bought all movies he was in and albums. You could say I got obsessed with him because I had photos of him EVERYWHERE to the point where my parents got worried. I'd defend him from haters. I still remember June 25th. I was already on my last year of middle school and I had the best day of my life, when they took me home, my sister came out running these words: "Michael Jackson Died!" I dropped everything and ran inside and sure enough, every news channel had the headlines. I was too in shock to cry so I just listened to his albums all day long. The day it sunk in for me was his memorial and I cried, but I cried the hardest in the movie theater when I went to go watch "This Is It." Such an ironic title. I still love him and I still miss him. Love you MJ! You will always be the King of Pop!
Why did kids think he was bad?
@@MustacheCashStash125 The media slandered his name before he died everytime they talked about him.
Idk why but when Kobe passed this year and and how that whole week was all about kobe on everything it felt exactly like when mj passed except i remember almost the whole summer of 2009 being about mj
I was shocked.
One kid in my class the next day made a joke about this. Let's say he didn't see anything for a week
Jack Branciforte bless you. 😁😁
U forgot "just"
Ruth Quinones I didn't want to say "just".
Jack Branciforte what was the joke
Wasn't this during summer break tho?
I was 8 years old an on vacation when he died, I didn’t really know who he was at the time, but it’s all anyone was talking about. Later when I was around 14 years old I fell in love with him.
13 years ago today the world lost the King Of Pop😥😰 R.I.P Michael Jackson❤️
I’ll never forget when i saw the news i was taking a shower and as i was drying off i heard the Motown 25 billie jean performance playing (I thought the movie the jacksons was on) so i ran to the living room after getting dressed and saw on the screen “Michael Jackson possibly dead” and my heart sank and kept wishing it wasn’t true
May the world greatest man Rest In Peace❤️
I remember hearing his death in 2009 I was in elementary school rest in peace legend
His music and legacy will never die his music is listened to by billions every day KING OF POP FOREVER AND MICHAEL JACKSON FOREVER
Nick The First ❤️
Oh God, That Moment Shocked the world. Rest in Peace, our Michael. We always love you.😨😭❤
It's strange for me to see a smile on people's faces. If they told me that Michael Jackson died, I would burst into tears right there.
Today is been 13 years and I still can't believe it. I was devestated that Michael Jackson is gone. #MJForever
The day that music die.....greatest entertainer that ever live......I am blessed that I saw him live back in 1992.... .
I remember Googling the death of Michael Jackson back when it was just new news. I was 14 when he passed away, now im going on 30.
time flies
I got up in the morning to and my mom called me saying Michael Jackson is in the hospital. I told her he'll be fine. I sat down on the couch watching ALL of the news stations covering it as reports came in. He collapsed, or he had a heart attack. Then finally after a while, they announced he had died. I sat there quiet in shock. My family started calling each other about the news. I was 18 and crying. I couldn't believe he was so young and died.
the world's biggest superstar. no wonder so many people were (and still are) after him
I remember when he passed away I was a kid it was everywhere it was on the news everyone at my school was talking about it my family was shocked it was a crazy time the world lost a wonderful artist!
I first learned about this on Facebook from B Scott. I immediately flipped on my television to this channel and watched in tears. Rest In Peace MJ!
This is so sad, rest in peace king. You will always be remembered❤️
I will never forget this day.
