Exactly 10 years ago, the world lost a true legend of his time. The world has come together today to celebrate the life of the legendary pop artist Michael Jackson who lived for 51 years and blessed us with some of the best music the world has ever seen.
On June 25, 2009, the singer Michael Jackson died of acute propofol and benzodiazepine intoxication at his home on North Carolwood Drive in the Holmby Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Michael Jackson did so much for the world, he was a humanitarian on top of his career. His thematic ranch called Neverland was very controversial even after his death.
A widespread famine had affected Ethiopia from 1983 to 1985 and through Ethiopian journalist and photographer Mo Amin, Michael Jackson got to know about it and spread awareness throughout the world. That became the inception of ‘We are the world’ song which enlisted some of the world’s most iconic artists including Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder and Tina Turner among many more to raise funds.
PUBLIC tributes for Michael Jackson on the tenth anniversary of his death today have been ditched following the devastating child sex abuse documentary Leaving Neverland. That, however, hasn’t stopped millions of his fans from posting tributary messages about the star under the hashtag #10YearsWithoutMichaelJackson.
Check them out below:

It’s been #10YearsWithoutMichaelJackson and the world is a much darker place since he passed. MJ lit up the world with his undeniable talent and his unwavering message of love. We must carry on this message of love and empathy, even if the blind can’t see it.#HonorMJ

The most inspirational aspect of MJ’s life, to me, is the drive he had to make everything he envisioned come true. No matter how self conscious he was, there was always that drive to be and to do what he knew God put him on this earth for. #10YearsWithoutMichaelJackson pic.twitter.com/IAvdWP3sXa

10 years ago Michael Jackson made his last phone call. He feared for his life.
“They could kill me and say I overdosed on drugs”. He overdosed on propofol the next day, supplied by his doctor Conrad Murray.
I thought it’d be important to share. #10YearsWithoutMichaelJackson pic.twitter.com/HGw3BzmAv3

To me, it still feels like yesterday. But it's 10 years. Still hard to accept that we not only lost someone who was arguably the world's greatest entertainer, but a man who was also the most amazing humanitarian #10YearsWithoutMichaelJackson #MichaelJackson

The king of pop clearly still lives on through his music. Nigeria’s veteran musician Peter Okoye of PSquare has written a post in honour of Michael as well.
