Michael Joseph Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, he grew up in Chicago in a working class family. His fathers name is Joseph Jackson and his mothers name is Katherine Esther Scruse, -Michael had eight siblings, he was supposed to have nine but one died at birth. Michael Jackson was a Jehovah witness growing up.

Michael´s childhood & Jackson 5

At a very young age his father abused him and his brothers he had a very hard childhood. He often cried as because he felt lonely and he felt sick of seeing his father. He felt very much hate for his father, Michaels father used to sit in a chair with a belt while Michael practiced with his brothers and if they did not sing or danced good enough he would hit them.

Michael first showed his musical talent at five years he started to do christmas shows. His brothers had a group first that was called Jackson Brothers that Michael and his brother Marlon also became members of the group after. They began to play the tambourine and congas, Michael got to perform later and at the age of eight he was a lead singer with his brother Jermaine, the group changed their name to Jackson 5.

The band did a lot of touring in America for two years, they performed on clubs and different kind of shows. Year 1966 they won a big talent show under the lead of Michael Jackson. Two years later they signed a contract with Motown Records. Everybody was calling Michael a wonder child because he was so talented at such a young age, he had a light voice but he danced as a grown up.

The Jackson 5 hit a record with their four first singles (I want you back, ABC, The love you save and I´ll be there). During the early years of the band the Motown group said that Michael was nine years old two years younger than he really was, because that sounded much sweeter and more approachable for the big crowd.

Later the band changed their contract from Motown Records to Epic ...

The Jackson 5 goes The Jacksons

When The Jackson 5 moved from Motown to Epic their new ”leader” came to be Michael Jackson.

Micheal wrote their songs and they started to touring internationally. They changed because they didn´t like the Motown records.

Michael did also later play a starred in a musical movie named ”The Wiz”. During this time he met Jones who promised to produce his next soloalbum, ”Off the wall”. After Michael had contributed with a song named ”Someone in the dark” for the movie E.T they gave him a grammy for best album for children.

The grammy helped him to do his next solo album ”Triller”. Both of this two soloalbumes were successful but ”Thriller” was the top moment in his career. It came to be the best selling album in the world and gave Jackson a large surplus in money and a huge group of fans.

His success didn´t only affect this, it also changed many things in the music industry, things like for an example he was a salvation for the music industry on a very positive way. He had brought us many things in his career with regard to music, mainly music of course but he also had brought things like ”The moonwalk”. 

Operations

In 1979 Jackson broke his nose when he was doing a complicated/hard dance step. He did two operations in the beginning. The first wasn´t completely sucessful, he felt that he had hard breathing and that made him to do one operation more because he was afraid of that his breathing was going to affect his career.

In 1984 he had an horrible accident when he was recording a reklame for pepsi and then he had to do a ”operation” but more like a treatment. The facts that we´ve found doesn´t say how the accident did happen but it says that his hair were on fire and that he got burns and because of this burns he payed a threatment for his burns to a hospital. This money gave the hospital the oppotunities for coming patiens with burns and they namned the ”treatment” after Michael.

”He did do many more operations, he changed skin color because of that, his operations... That´s how we did understand it, he didn´t do a ”color operation”, there isn´t anything called ”color operations”, at least not yet...”

Accused of sexual abuse

In 1993, Michael Jackson was accused of sexual abuse by a 13 years old boy named Jordan Chandler. Jordan and Michael had became friends earlier but Jordans parents reported Jackson to the police for sexual abuse. According to some sources, Michael offered the family 20 millions in money if they withdrew the charges they had against Michael.

In 2003, the same thing did happen again. Michael was now accused for a sexual abuse again, this time by a young boy named Gavin Arvizo. The accuser was the same person as in 1993.

His defence lawyer were Thomas Mesereau and after 5 months long procedure Michael was released from the allegations.

”We really don´t think that Michael had anything to do with the sexual abuses... We don´t think that he ever would do anything like that! People is making up things and the news papers are doing some things bigger than they really are! It´s silly...”

His family

In year 1997 Michael Jackson married his long time good friend Deborah Jeanne Rowe, and they got their first child Michael Joseph Jackson Jr (also known as Prince) February 13, 1997 . Their daughter Paris Michael Katherine Jackson was born a year later on april 3, 1998. Deborah and Michael didn´t want to get married at first but Michaels mother persuaded them to do so. They got divorced in 1999 and Michael got full custody of the children.

He also had a child named Prince Michael II “Blanket” who was born in 2002 and he came from a surrogate mother.

Michael dead...

In 2009 Michael was planning to do a comeback with 50 concerts during the years 2009-2010, but his plans came to naught... In june 25, 2009 Michael was taken immediatly to a hospital. He had stopped breathing and the doctors on UCLA Medical Center did do everything to make him breath again but sadly it didn´t give any positive effects.

14.46 o´clock that day Michael Jackson was ponaunced dead. He had been hit out of heart condition. Nobody knows for 100 percent what it was that had caused his heart condition but there is some theories.

After Michaels dead

After his dead many of his singles and songs came up on the top lists again all round the world. There is even some theories that says that Michael isn´t dead, that they´ve seen him on different places.

”We do personally don´t think that Michael Jackson is dead. We think he want to live a ”normal” life or just take a pause of his song career. Maybe there was something happening in his life that he wanted to avoid...”
