@helinhandbasket @LiberianGirl779 I think it was more of him being angry at them about what happened. I don’t think it had nothing to with it not being the best place for him to recover.

Spike Lee’s annual BK Loves MJ celebration brought thousands of fans to Fort Greene Park for a day of music, dancing and love in honor of what would have been Michael Jackson’s 68th birthday.

What started as a tribute in 2009 has become a beloved Brooklyn tradition and 17 years later, the music still brings the city together.

The music lives on and clearly, so does the love. ❤️

Happy 68th Birthday to #Michaeljackson, the One & Only King of Pop and the greatest entertainer of All Time! 🐐👑🤍🕊️
Michael is the best-selling Solo Artist of All Time and the 2nd Best-selling Act after the Beatles, with over 500 Million records sold. He has scored 13 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 singles, and is the first artist to have a top-ten single on the chart in six different decades! 'Thriller' (1982) is still the Best-selling Album of All Time, having sold way over 70 Million units, and was the first album to be certified certified 30× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 2015 and is now 34x Platinum! 'Thriller' made Michael the biggest Star in the world, revolutionizing the music video medium with the videos for its title track, "Beat It" and "Billie Jean". Michael's music broke both sales records and racial barriers across the planet! He is one of the most culturally significant artists of the 20th century, popularizing street dance moves, and in particular, the moonwalk, the robot, and the anti-gravity lean. Michael was also one of the greatest touring Acts in history. His Bad World Tour (1987–1989) drew 4.4 million fans across 123 shows and grossed $125 million, the first tour ever to surpass $100 million. The HIStory World Tour (1996–1997) topped it with over 4.5 million attendees and $165 million, making it the highest-grossing solo tour of the 1990's! His spectacular live performances set records that still stand today.

Michael Jackson became famous as the lead singer of the Jackson 5 at just 11 years old. The group, signed to Motown in 1969, and made history as the first act to have their first four singles reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 including “I Want You Back,” “ABC,” “The Love You Save,” and “I’ll Be There.” The Jackson 5 sold millions of records, scored 17 Top 40 hits in five years, earned their own animated series, and became one of the biggest teen pop phenomena of the early 1970s, launching Michael’s legendary solo career. After leaving the Jackson 5, Michael released his 1st solo album 'Off the Wall' in 1979, which established him as a global superstar, followed by 'Thriller' (1982), which remains the best-selling album of all time, winning a record-breaking 8 Grammy Awards in one night! It spent 37 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and spawned 7 Top 10 singles. 'Thriller' was a global phenomenon, and became the best-selling album of all time! It reached #1 on the weekly album charts in 13 major countries, including the US, UK, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Finland, France, Japan, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain & Sweden! After 'Thriller' (1982), Michael focused on touring, embarking on the sold-out Victory Tour with The Jacksons in 1984 and recording sessions that eventually led to the release of 'Bad' in 1987. 'Bad' (1987), was the world's best-selling album of 1987 and 1988, and the first album to produce 5 US Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 singles including "I Just Can't Stop Loving You", "Bad", "The Way You Make Me Feel", "Man in the Mirror", and "Dirty Diana". 'Bad' has sold over 45 Million units and has been certified 11× platinum by the RIAA!

Michael's 8th studio album, 'Dangerous' (1991) marked a new Era, with his music focusing on more socially conscious material, and including a broader range of sounds and styles. 'Dangerous' debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard Top Pop Albums chart and was outpacing both Thriller (1982) and 'Bad' in sales, certified 4× platinum in the US within two months of its release! It reached No. 1 in 13 other countries and became the best-selling album worldwide of 1992 with Michael honoured as the World's best-selling Artist of the year Award at the 1993 World Music Awards. The album produced 4 global smash hit singles: "Remember the Time", "In the Closet", "Will You Be There" and "Black or White". 'Dangerous' has sold over 32 Million copies! It was certified 8× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 2018. The album has been included in several publications' lists of the greatest albums of all time, and its artistry and thematic content have been praised as Jackson's finest!

'HIStory' (1995) spawned the mega hit "You Are Not Alone", the first of Michael's singles to debut at No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100. 'HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I' has sold over 30 million copies worldwide as a double album, and is the best-selling double album in history by a solo artist! In 1997 Michael released 'Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix (1997)' which became the best-selling remix album of all time, selling over 6 million copies worldwide! Michael's last album, 'Invincible" (2001) debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 363,000 first-week U.S. sales, topping charts in over a dozen countries and sold over 8 million copies worldwide! It has been certified 2× platinum in the U.S. for 2 over million units.

Following the April 2026 release of his history-making biopic 'MICHAEL', Michael's popularity soared and his catalog experienced a major revival. The Antoine Fuqua-directed film, starring the incredibly talented Jaafar Jackson, triggered explosive growth in streaming and sales for Michael! His solo tracks more than doubled their previous best U.S. streaming week reaching 137.5 million on-demand streams, with top albums like 'Thriller', 'Off the Wall', and 'Number Ones' surging on charts and gaining hundreds of millions of additional plays globally. Michael rocked to the Top of the Global Digital Artist Rank, reigning for 44 days! He also reigned atop the Global Spotify chart for 19 days, with "Billie Jean" becoming the song to spend the 7th most days at #1 in 2026! The biopic 'MICHAEL' grossed over 1 BILLION, becoming the highest-grossing music biopic of all time!

Michael is one of the most-awarded artists in music history! He has won 39 Guinness World Records, including the Most Successful Entertainer of All Time Award, 13 Grammy Awards, including the Grammy Legend Award and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, 12 World Music Awards including the Legend Award, the Diamond Award for album sales of over 100 Million and the Millennium Award for the Best-selling Solo Artist of the Millennium, 26 American Music Awards, including Artist of the Century, 6 Brit Awards, and 3 presidential honors. Michael was inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1980 as a member of the Jacksons, and in 1984 as a solo artist. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Vocal Group Hall of Fame as a member of the Jackson 5 in 1997 and 1999, respectively, and as a solo artist in 2001. In 2002, he was inducted to the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In 2010, he was the first recording artist to be inducted into the Dance Hall of Fame, and in 2014, he was posthumously inducted into the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame. In 2021, he was among the first inductees into the Black Music & Entertainment Walk of Fame! In 2024, half of Michael's music catalogue was sold to Sony for $600 million, the largest music acquisition for a single artist in history!

In 1992, Michael founded the Heal the World Foundation. He has donated an estimated $500 million to charity over the years, though the exact amount is much higher due to his anonymous contributions. Specific donations include $3-5 million from his 1984 Victory Tour, $1.5 million from a Pepsi settlement to establish the Michael Jackson Burn Center, $1.5 million to the United Negro College Fund for a scholarship fund, and millions through his Heal the World Foundation, which supported initiatives like airlifting supplies to Sarajevo. He also supported 39 charitable organizations, earning a Guinness World Record in 2000 for the most charities supported by an Artist in music history!

Michael Jackson is more than the King of Pop. He is a once-in-a-generation phenomenon who redefined music, dance, and global entertainment, inspiring artists and fans worldwide for generations and still on top. With his unmatched artistry, record-shattering success, and cultural impact, he created a legacy so vast and unique that, even decades later, Michael remains irreplaceable...

This is me, never thought there’d be a day where new music wouldn’t hit any more!

[ً @artfuIchaos]

unfortunately, as you get older, you gradually become less interested in new music and keep going back to the old favorite songs you once loved.

[🍂 @Lovandfear]

The older I get, the more I understand why people disappear into gardening, baking, reading, and long walks. Not because life got boring. Because peace became valuable.
