Remembering Michael Jackson: Family Members, Including Son Prince Share Tributes To Mark King Of Pop's 15th Death Anniversary
Through heartfelt remembrances and shared memories, Michael Jackson's family celebrated the singer's enduring legacy and the profound impact of his music on generations worldwide.
An era came to an end on June 25, 2009, when the late and great Michael Jackson departed the world. It's been fifteen years since the King of Pop’s death, but the music industry and music aficionados alike still remember the legendary musician with the same mix of fascination and respect. Michael would have been 65 if he were alive today.
Michael Jackson had the world wrapped around his little finger since he first took the stage alongside his brothers Jackie, Tito, Marlon, and Jermaine as one-fifth of the Jackson 5 in 1964. The Smooth Criminal singer, however, skyrocketed to new heights when he released his solo album Off The Wall in 1979.
MJ’s son, along with his other surviving family members, took to social media on Tuesday to pay tribute to the singer and acknowledge his legacy on his 15th death anniversary.
