void of existence

I do not know which hole you may have been in if you have not heard this by now…. Michael Jackson is dead.

It is saddening.  There is no personal reason to.  But there is a sadness to hear such a news.  Towards the last decade, MJ has been criticized and scrutinized for much of his personal life.  I never taken a view on such news.  To me, celebrities are humans too.  They choose what and how they want to be.  It is a personal decision.  Some people have a craving to know, maybe.  Being a celebrity also means that they are selling their lives to be under the microscope the whole time.  So people, who wanted to walk the path of fame, are basically signing up for giving up their privacy.

I remember well when MJ’s ‘Thriller’ album hit Singapore.  It was such a hit.  That is hopefully how his image will be remembered.
