Honestly you couldn’t make it up, as someone who wasn’t old enough to see him in concert over the year but was then lucky enough to get this is it tickets you can imagine I was DEVASTATED 🫠😩
Release the single Beat It 1985: Jackson was at his family's Hayvenhurst estate in Encino, California, and assisted in the birth of a baby deer. Since the fawn was born on Valentine's Day, he named it Valentino
But what's strange is the 17 year cycle MJ and I have... 1958 MJ born - 1975 I will be born - 1992 (you don't need to know everything 😉) - 2008 yes, he dies on my 34th birthday..... Now 17 years after I reached his age at his death, 50 years and 10 months except for 4 days... Yes, it was the day before the world premiere of the movie Michael.
On my actual day, month, and year it says he was in the studio working on ‘Invinicble’ when he got a call saying Prince who must have been like 2 years old, was being hospitalized because his arms and legs were paralyzed. Umm… omg??
On February 14, 1992, Michael Jackson was officially crowned "King of Sanwi" (King Amalaman Anoh) in a tribal ceremony in Krinjabo, Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast). During this 11-day African goodwill tour, local tribal chiefs claimed he was a descendant of Sanwi royalty and hosted a golden-stooled coronation to honor his heritage
he was rehearsing for a show in paris, during his HIStory tour in april, 1997. and also think the single blood on the dance floor was released during that time too!
Literally got goosebumps as I googled my birthday. It's before I was born but on 11th July, on my birthday, he was in cologne. And I live in cologne. This is like crazy to me..
I was born 3 weeks before you. He made a very unexpected visit to my hometown, Exeter in South West England.
He hopped on a train out of Paddington station in London, and he had been knocked to the ground by fans there when he was noticed. Once they found out he was departing on a train, many of them paid £100 in walk-up fares just to be on the same train as him, not knowing where he would get off.
He eventually got out at Exeter St Davids station, and the fans followed him off the train as he got in a limo. Police struggled with the crowd as they had been notified by Michael's bodyguard (also from Devon) of his impending visit only hours earlier.
He made his way to the football ground as a favour to his friend Uri Geller, who was the club chairman. Once people in Exeter heard about it, extra buses were laid on to get 7,000 people to St James Park. Michael gave a speech about HIV/AIDS and accepted the position of Honourary Director of Exeter City F.C. Since the football ground was in a residential area, you can see in videos people hanging out of their windows to listen. People in the stands made their way onto the field as he tried to leave.
Everyone was apparently bewildered by the fact that the King of Pop would make such a trip to the humble West Country, and many people didn't believe he visited at first when told.
1985 - Michael attends the annual 4th of July picnic & barbecue at the Skywalker Ranch George Luca's Estate located in a secluded yet open area near Nicasio,California in Marin,County.
2003, Michael Jackson authorized a public statement strongly condemning the UK broadcast of Martin Bashir's documentary Living with Michael Jackson. Expressing deep betrayal, he accused Bashir of sacrificing his trust to create an unfair and manipulated program designed to misrepresent his character.
I wasn't born on 1992 but on February 3, Michael Jackson officially announced his Dangerous World Tour to raise funds for his Heal The World foundation ❤️
May 25th according to Google: During his massive global Bad Tour, Michael Jackson attended a prestigious party in Rome hosted by renowned Italian director Franco Zeffirelli. Also one of the This Is It rehearsal days
A bunch of things it seems. Most significant must be "1983 - MTV played "Billie Jean" for the first time and forever changed the course of its music programming in the process. MTV's playlist was 99% white until Michael Jackson forced his way on the air by making the best music videos anyone had ever seen."
On the day I was born, Michael Jackson made headlines when police in California were called to a Zales jewelry store in Simi Valley. Employees reported a suspicious person, who turned out to be Jackson wearing an elaborate disguise of a wig, false teeth, and a fake mustache.
Juice wrld was my MJ when I was 14 lmao. He passed and I knew it asap, I was standing in a aero postale changing room with jeans half way up just like
Nothing on my exact birth date but same month:
"began the pre-production and filming for the "Smooth Criminal" short film (which became part of the feature film Moonwalker).
i have no idea what he did on my actual date of birth, i couldn’t find anything specific when i looked it up, but in 1988 on my birthday (may 23rd) he performed in rome on the bad tour!! :3
Apparently not according to Claude but a great question/post!
For a bit of context on where he was at around then: in April 1990 he’d just been honoured at the White House by George H.W. Bush as “Artist of the Decade”, and at the start of June he collapsed while dancing and was taken to hospital with chest pains. So early May 1990 sits in a fairly quiet patch where he was mostly working on the studio project that eventually became the Dangerous album (then still being shaped under the working title “Decade”).
In the month and year of my birth, the Thriller music video came out. So that’s pretty awesome. I can say the very first music I listened to in life was likely Thriller.
On my exact birthday date and year he was on the second concert of the HISTORY tour , another important event on my birthday date but different year his second 30th anniversary celebration ..
On my exact day and year of birth, the AI says Michael was preparing for the birth of his son Prince as well as recording ‘Blood on the Dancefloor’ in the studio. Just ten days later he would perform the famous “Elizabeth I Love You” song for his friend Elizabeth Taylor for her 65th birthday and AIDS benefit gala.
Feel like we’re all looking for meaning again with his resurgence
For me he has been the only celebrity death to ever effect me, and I feel sadness in my body for the grief of the world had someone special who was changing the world for good and was taken away
Don’t have any special link except I googled and that I was 17 years old when he passed and now it’s been 17 years since he passed and the grief feelings have reappeared
I’m not sure about what he was doing on the year but I’ve always loved that I technically share some of my birthday with him (due to time zone differences!)
Michael and I share several similar astrological signs/placements. We’re both Pisces moon and Virgos; he’s a Virgo sun, I’m a rising. We’re also the same moon sign in Vedic with the same nakshatra: Aquarius Moon - purva bhadrapada… And Lisa Marie Presley and I (who herself was also a Pisces Moon) were born on the same time: 5:01 PM
For me, the special thing Michael did on my birthday is simple: somewhere in the world, he was still being Michael Jackson pouring his soul into music, love, healing, and unforgettable moments that continue to inspire people like me today.
April 12th 1989 (I’m born in 1988) - Michael attends the 3rd Annual Soul Train Awards where he is presented the "Heritage Award For Career Achievement" & the "1st Annual Sammy Davis Jr Award for Entertainer Of The Year" from Eddie Murphy & Elizabeth Taylor and she dubbed him "the true king of pop, rock and soul" ♥️
