Michael Jackson: When The 'Invincible' Die

Millions of fans and critics alike were caught unawares at the demise of a man, who has almost single-handedly reshaped the pop world into what it is today. Even public mourning is not commonplace in the Western world, scores of fans were shown on television and the internet in tears upon hearing the news of the death of the man some call 'Wacko Jacko'.

I received the news via sms from a colleague at Monitor early last Friday and my fist reaction was: Michael Jackson dead? Impossible! I quickly checked on Google and searched 'Michael Jackson dies' and sadly several news networks confirmed that the 'King of Pop' was indeed no more.
