The life of Michael Jackson is not a bed of roses. The whole of his life was with several thorns ups and downs. Michael was born on 29 August 1958 in Gary, Indiana, USA. His father Joe used to run a family music group as Jackson 5 and he used to force all of his children to sing and get money for the family expenses. He employed his own children for monetary gains robbing their precious child life. Thus young Jackson at the age of 11 started his music career loosing the love and affection form the parents. The father Joe was an evil person used to punish children severely even for a small mistake. Michael suffered very much in his father’s hands. His father used to call him as ugly fellow, and big nose fellow always. This caused Michael very sad and depressed. He always used to think about his big nose and to undergo plastic surgery when he earns sufficiently. Perhaps this might have provoked him to undergo plastic surgery in later part of his life.

His music career started to improve day by day and in 1970 he released albums “I want you back”, “ABC”, “The love you save” and “I will be there” which were taken him to highest in the pop music world. Later he released several albums and they all became popular through out the world. In 1972 his first number one single solo artist with Ben earned Oscar nomination. In 1983 he won 8 Grammy awards. While his music career is going to heights he has to face criticism in 1986 on his personal life for undergoing plastic surgery to become white.

Michael married in 1995 Lisa Mary Presley but it was broken and Michael divorced her after 19 months. Subsequently Michael Jackson married Debbie Rowe and got two children one son Prince Michael Jackson Junior and a daughter Paris Michael Katherine Jackson. However this was also not successful and the couple divorced in the year 1999. Fans of Michael Jackson were once terrified when he tried to dangle his son from a balcony. However later he apologized for his mistake. Perhaps with all the criticisms divorces he was addicted to drugs and his health started deteriorating fast. However he continued his music career to entertain millions of his fans all over the world. Though he earned a good name in his music life he was totally failed in marital life and his personal life. Michael Jackson is also a charitable and donated to several organizations and individuals. He helped several children for treatment etc. He earned sufficiently but not a peaceful life. He faced lot of controversies and criticisms and his life went miserably. In 2005 he faced an allegation of child molestation cases and however acquitted. With all these turmoil in life and with prolonged court cases it is understood that he left with lot of debts at the time of his death.

The great soul is no more now. Though he physically left us he is living in our hearts and whole world remember him with his innumerable albums.
Let us all bid farewell to with shedding of tears and pray for an eternal peace for the great departed soul.

Michael Jackson was terribly sensitive to sunlight because of these two illness. His skin colour drastically changed from medium brown to extremely pale white which suggested initially that he might have had his skin bleached.

Michael was way too conscious of his looks as well which resulted in numerous plastic surgeries. Due to this obsession Michael Jackson self destroyed his own body in the end. He was particularly conscious of his nose which repeatedly came under the needle. Some of the cosmetic operations that MJ had undertaken were the nasal surgeries, forehead lift, lip surgery to make them look thinner, cheekbone surgery.
