Letter From the Michael Jackson Estate on the 10th Anniversary of His Passing

“Ten years ago today [June 25], the world lost a gifted artist and extraordinary humanitarian. The entire global community joined in grieving during a powerful and emotional memorial service witnessed by more people than had ever viewed a live event before. Messages of condolences from Nelson Mandela and others were read as was a poem written for the occasion by the esteemed Maya Angelou. Berry Gordy Jr., founder of Motown, eulogized his protégé by saying, ‘…the King of Pop is not big enough for him. I think he is simply the greatest entertainer that ever lived.’  United in grief, the world wept not only at the loss of an artistic genius but at the void left by the loss of a father, son and brother.”
