Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson was once the front man of his family’s band, ‘The Jackson Five’ when he was just 5 years old himself. In 1982, he finally went solo and became the biggest pop star in the world at the time with songs like “Thriller,” “Bad,” “Billy Jean” and a bunch more. But as his career grew, so did his personal issues from pedophilia and sexual abuse allegations to literally turning white from Vitiligo while undergoing a number of plastic surgeries to change his appearance. Michael also struggled with years of abuse, and abused drugs himself. Sadly, the King of Pop died from a drug overdose when he was just 50 years old, but his legacy lives on with his children, his music, and the fact that people won’t quit talking about him until this very day.
