I am really quite upset by this. I guess I must be old, but I remember how excited my sister and I were waiting for the first full transmission of the Thriller video on the tv.
He was an intrinsic part of, well, most of my life really. Always there. I was never the mega-fan but loved his stuff in the 80s - and still do.
Bollocks to anyone raking over his private life on a day like this. The man was immense, and there will be many other days apart from this one to tear his memory to shreds.
RIP King of Pop.
