Michael Jackson dies at 50

Posted by Brian On June - 25 - 2009

I know this is a website dedicated to video games, but this news is something I couldn’t ignore. One of the greatest icons of my time, Michael Jackson, has passed away at the age of 50 from an apparent cardiac arrest. I came home to hear the news and couldn’t believe it. I am honestly saddened. Though his later life was filled with trials and tribulations, his music has endured. That to me is the mark he made on our society. His music was so amazing and timeless, it even surpassed the controversies. And in a small way, the landscape of video games was affected by Michael Jackson. He was one of the only music artists to have his own video game at the time. Add to that the speculation that he had a hand in the Sonic 3 soundtrack.

His family is in my prayers. Even as I sit here and type this, I still can’t believe it. Today is truly the day the music died.
