Hello there!

RIP Michael

My girlfriend and I thought about booking tickets to see Michael Jackson at the O2 arena, but decided against it. We were unsure that he would be well enough to perform in concert, let alone for such a long run of appearances. This morning we heard on the radio that he had died aged 50.

I don’t have anything special to add to the media and public discussion of the man, his life and his contribution to music. I’d just like to mark this sad day by linking to his legendary appearance at the Motown 25, where he performed Billie Jean and showed off his iconic dance moves for the first time.

This Michael, an artist in his prime, is something I would have paid a great deal to see. Sadly it wasn’t to be. I’m sure his music will live on for many years to come.
