A Tribute to King of Pop ‘Michael Jackson’ – Though you’re far away

 
Michael Jackson……it’s a heartbreaking truth that this iconic legend is not among us anymore (may his soul rest in Peace). We have lost the person whose music has been entertaining generations from last 3 decades.  As soon as his death was confirmed on 25th June, 2009, Michael Jackson’s fans, an army of admirers undivided by language, religion or national differences, reacted with tears.

Even before Michael Jackson was pronounced dead at 2:26 p.m. PST on Thursday, thousands of fans sang his songs and stood vigil outside L.A.’s Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.

From one glove to white socks, this trend setter has been winning hearts all round the world and today after his departure we all realize what asset we have lost.

Anyhow, to share the grief with Michael Jackson’s fans and pay my humble tribute to his music I have compiled some of his amazing graphical posters, hit album covers and his magazine appearances.
 

My message to Michael Jackson’s fans:

I bring this blog post as a platform to express all your love and condolence for the star. I would like you all to leave comments to express your deep grief and bid him farewell with all your blessings.

"May his Soul rest in Peace"
 

Michael Jacksons Top Album covers:

Compiling best of "MJ’s Best Album Covers" takes me to those early days of 80’s when for the first time I went to buy a piece of music for myself and the record I bought was none other than Michael Jackson’s "Thriller"
 
Below I have placed a slideshare showcasing top 11 albumcovers of his hits.
 
 

Michael Jackson on Magazine Covers:

I don’t remeber a single famous celebrity magazine which has never captured MJ for their cover page. Some of the most reputable famous magazines like TIME, Newsweek, UsMagazine and Q magazine have been always portraying him on their cover pages for one or the other reason.

This slideshare below showcases some of the famous magazine covers which have been capturing "King of Pop" for coverpage.
 
 
 

The graphical side of Michael Jackson:

Here is a collection of some amazing artworks created by talented graphic designers from all over the world portraying Michael Jackson, with all his everlasting style and mesmerizing grace.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Portraits of Michael Jackson:

You all will be stunned by the skillfullness of the artists who beautifully captured the magic of late rockstar in these hand sketched and painted portraits.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

FM stats after his death announced:

Earlier on Sunday his songs topped Apple’s iTunes download charts in every country except Japan.
 
 

Q magazine:

Michael Jackson Q Magazine Cover July 2009 – Michael Jackson’s last known photo shoot
 
 

Michael Jackson’s Last Rehearsal Photos:

The last photos of Michael Jackson before he died Thursday have surfaced.

Two days before the singer passed away at 50 from cardiac arrest, he danced through a final concert rehearsal at L.A.’s Staples Center Tuesday.
 
 

Larger in death:

I am sure these pictures and images are the unique exploration of the multifaceted talent that was, and still is, Michael Jackson.
While talking to reporters, Joe Jackson (Michael Jackson’s father) said:
 
My son is going to be larger in death than he was in life, but I wish he was around to see the public outpouring of affection since he died.
 

Earlier this year, Miachael Jackson announced that he would be performing a series of concerts in London, which would be his final curtain call – I wish this final call wouldn’t have been so tear-jerking

    After he’s gone, Who will be “heal the world”?

  1. Vector Tribute To Michael Jackson On June 30th, 2009 at 3:29 am

    I haven’t heard his songs but I knew that he was a great singer and dancer. And I am very sure that the next “King Of Pop” is not going to be announced anytime soon because no one can really takes his place.

    May his soul rest in peace.

  1. Arthurgabriel On June 30th, 2009 at 5:58 am

    Nice collection. He will forever and always live on in the hearts of the millions he touched. His songs were the first I ever knew and he have continued to be the greatest musician known to man.

    He wasn’t my favorite person, but it is sad that he is gone. Especially at only the age of 50.

    There are some good designs here though. Very good post.

    Sono da sempre una grandissima Fan Italiana di Michael.Quando ho saputo della sua morte non volevo crederci.Provo un dolore straziante,per questo Adorabile e Grandissimo Artista,dal Talento che mai nessuno avrà .Mi ha accompagnato fin dalla mia adolescenza,amavo tantissimo la sua timidezza e il suo sguardo tenero così come mi incantava la sua forza sul Palco.Quando balla e cantava con grinta.Provo dolore per tutte le cattiverie che gente senza scrupoli e cattiva gli ha fatto a cominciare dalle bugie dei giornalisti alla quale non bisogna mai credere perchè pur di vendere giornali camminerebbero anche sul corpo della propria madre.Vergogna per chi ha fatto male a questo Artista,un “Ragazzo” dall animo buono che amava la sua Arte più di qualsiasi altra cosa.In Italia sono tanti,tatissimi i suoi Fan e lo piangiamo tutti.Mio Amatissimo Michael riposa in pace io non ti dimenticherò mai!
    I love You my Dear Frends.Caterina-Fan Italy

    P.S Ecxuse for my English not Perfect.

    (English Translation)

    Have always been a great Italian Fan Michael.Quando I learned of his death did not want crederci.Provo an excruciating pain, so Adorable and Great Artist, by Talento that no one ever will have. I was accompanied from my adolescence, I loved the tantissimo His shyness and his soft eyes as I incantata its strength on Palco.Quando dancing and singing with grinta.Provo sorrow for all the malice that unscrupulous people and the poor has made a start by lying to journalists which we must never believe it to sell newspapers even walk on their own body madre.Vergogna for those who have done evil to this Artist, a “Boy” in good heart who loved his art more than any other cosa.In Italy are many, its tatissimi Fans mourn tutti.Mio and the beloved Michael rest in peace I will not ever forget you!
    I love You my Dear Frends.Caterina-Italy Fan

    MICHAEL, no te lloramos estamos contentos porque el solo pensar en ti nos da alegria, GRACIAS, aprovecha a descansar ahora que podes te AMO …

  1. TAWANNA On July 20th, 2009 at 1:29 pm

    Michael Jackson was and will always be the greatest there ever was. He was such a gentle and loving man. Although the media tried to paint him as this crazy, wacky man, I never once allowed them to alter my opinion of this man that I have loved since I was 5 years old. Michael you will FOREVER be in my heart and although you may not have found your peace here on this place called earth, I pray you are resting with our heavenly father. I love you Michael Joseph Jackson and you are always, always in my heart.

  1. Antoinette On July 21st, 2009 at 3:14 pm

    Great Graphics of Our Beloved MJ <3

    I was a little too young to go to a Michael Jackson concert in the past…now its too late for me! The 1st time I get a chance to go to a Michael Jackson event was to his Memorial in the Staples Center! I couldn’t believe I actually won tickets…It makes me very sad, especially after reading this article. He was going to BLOW THE ROOF off the joint in London with this tour…UGh…I sometimes think “why?, or its not fair” but who am I to question GOD!?!?

    God gave us this Angel of a Man for 50 Glorious and Music filled years…to teach us strength, love, peace, genuine human compassion for all things living, and the fragility of of precious life. I aspire now to live that out in my life, make Michael and GOD proud of me! We’ll see him again, in the paradise in the SKY <3 “That thought makes me SMILE :) ”

  1. GALE SANTIAGO On July 22nd, 2009 at 8:50 pm

    My only comment Is as hard as I myself know you (he) lived with the pains of growing up under the pressure of a strict parent as I did and my siblings I pray to God you are now at peace.( My father was a Johova Witness as well we were brought up the same) Just know that your family will take care of your children and they will see you once again. Michael I will never forget you nor let your music die. Wish I only met you In person as a Mutual friend so we could of discussed our child hood and for you to know you really had true friends not those who wanted your money. God Bless your family. Gale

  1. Paul Harold On August 2nd, 2009 at 10:30 am

    Love you so much Michael, still believe your gone. They world is empty without you. You will live on through your music and dance.

    My nephew is here with me, and just asked to watch your videos, you’ll been embraced by every generation to come. Your magic will last forever.

    Your fans,friends and family have your children’s back. We’ll love and care for them as we did you.

    God bless you Michael, and THANK YOU.

  1. Susanne On November 8th, 2009 at 7:35 pm

    I sit here crying and feeling so heartbroken by Michaels death. He and his music has been a huge part of my life and a inspiration to be the best you can and help others since I was 17 ( I am 42 now ). The way he died, the press and media and all the people who used him, his painful years as a kid and the things his father did to him, I get so angry. All he wanted was to be loved. I have myself seen childabuse and lived in a very abusive relationchip so I know what it does to you. I think you can see in his eyes that Michael was very caring, loving, had a special bond to others whos also had a tuff life. And all the famous people that attended his memorial, where were they before? If he had had a better childhood with a loving father, had a woman that stayed with him, the right people around him, no people that used him and put him throught hard things ( like the charges about abuse ). Had he lived now? And when he had to sell his beloved Neverland, it must have been horrible. So his life really “gets” to me and I can relate to things that happened in my own life and maby thats why his death is so heartbreaking. He searched for love and approval and that can be very hard for mind and soul. I know, I did it much more when I was younger so I know how it feels. I have always felt a connection with Michael due to my own life and the lyrics in his songs is amazing. Some songs are to difficult to listen to after he passed, the lyrics gets to me. I am so happy I found this page and could write about my feeling. For all us fans who really loved Michael and still do and never belived in all the BULLSHIT media wrote I just want to say to all of you out there; Thanks for sharing youre thoughts and feeling! If anyone want to write to me about Michael I would be very happy, it helps to share our loss!
    Many hugs from Susanne in Sweden

    Jacko was just a weird kiddy fiddler.

    hey … great blog .. beautiful pictures !!!
    PLz … STOP MTV FROM TAKING THE KING OF POP TITLE FROM MICHAEL JACKSON.
    Please stop MTV from disrespecting Michael and his memory. Because of Michael MTV is where it is now. Because of Michael and his REVOLUTIONARY MUSIC and VIDEOS MTV became famous everywhere. And instead of being FAIR AND GRATEFUL to Michael they want to take him away the title of KING OF POP and give it to Robbile Williams.
    Now Robbie is a great singer but he is nowhere near Michael!! >:(

    So please SIGN THE PETITION TO STOP MTV FROM TAKING THE KING OF POP TITLE from Michael. We need 1000 signatures fast. Spread the WORD and the LINK to your friends too and tell them to do the same. The link is:
