In my leisure time, I would always prefer to read biographies of famous personalities all over the world.

In my last holidays, I read a biography of Michael Jackson.

Going through this book I learned that it is not easy to become famous but it needs dedication, affection and assiduous work.

Michael Joseph Jackson was born on august 29, 1958 in Gary, Indiana, USA and entertain audience nearly his entire life.

His father Joe Jackson had been a guitarist but was forced to give up his musical ambitions following his marriage to Michael’s mother Katherine.

By early 1960 the older boys Jackie, Tito, Jermaine had begun performing around the city: by 1964 Michael and Marlon had joined in.

Michael had singing and dancing talent and soon he became the dominant voice and focus of the Jackson 5.

The solo success of Michael was inevitable and by 1980 he had become infinitely more popular than his brotherly group.

Michael grew child-like an introverted peerless celebrity. His physical appearance began to change drastically and his behavior grew alarmingly bizarre making him a consistent target for scandal.

He has been awarded six times Grammy award for his world-famous pop songs.

He got twice married and has five children. He was an American singer-songwriter and dancer.

Dubbed the king of pop he is regarded as one of the most significant cultural figures of the 20th century and one of the best entertainers.

He passed away on June 25th, 2009 because of cardiac arrest. 

He wanted to live for 150 years but because of plastic surgeries and access intake of intoxication ended his life so early.
