Michael Jackson left school at age 11 to focus on music with his brothers.
This was the last photo taken of him with his class, capturing the final moments of a normal childhood just before he became a global superstar.
“Diana Ross has told me that people in show business can get hurt. I don’t see how, to tell the truth. Maybe one day I will, but I kinda doubt it…”
- Michael Jackson at the age of 12, (1970) .
mj literally almost died because of the burn to his scalp. i hate that because he was able to bounce back and keep pushing people really downplay an injury that caused him lifelong pain. michael is so fucking strong :(
i feel like the reason that Paris is the most attached to Michael is related to the fact that he was the first person to hold her when she was born before anyone before even her mother and that first embrace and smell is very important to the bond between any child and a parent🤍
Not enough is said about how paris jackson incorporated her father into her engagement/wedding ring, when i first seen this interview i noticed immediately. It’s really the little things.
