Didn't see a thread to mark today, so I thought we should have one, to share however we choose to remember him today.

I still find occasions like this hard because I find myself reflecting on his short 50 years, and marvel at all that he managed to pack in those years. Being the brilliant star he was, he had to shine so bright and so fast, that sometimes I still can't believe I witnessed that star passing through my own timeframe. I don't know if the world will ever experience anything like that again.

MJ content on days like these always make me weepy, so to honour his memory I will be donating to a charity.
 
A little personal here but I'm feeling very emotional...

Love and miss you so much, M. You changed my life and helped me get through a frankly terrible childhood and adolescence because I could hold onto the knowledge that someone who suffered just like me went on to become the greatest artist ever. You make me want to put art out into the world. To help the world become a better place every single day. You made me realise that love and understanding can do so much. That there is strength in silent resilience. You, like me, were a warrior who had to fight through so much. And you still did everything you did despite what life threw at you.

You motivate me, inspire me and challenge me so much. To be a better artist and person.

Even though you did not know me, or any of us, I wish you were still here so you could feel all the energy we send your way, even almost two decades after you left us. I hope we meet someday, after my time on this Earth is up, so that I can tell you I did it! I made it through everything I used to whisper about under my covers at night when I was a boy.

Michael, you did - and still do - so much more for people than you could have ever imagined. Thank you so much. Happy birthday.

It's always about the music for me and I decided to mark Michael's birthday by listening to his albums more or less in order!

I started with Diana Ross presents the Jackson 5 this morning and as I write this I am upto Forever Michael.

I somehow cannot imagine a 67-year-old Michael Jackson. I wonder how he would look today and I believe his age would make him very sad. But who knows. He might have found some peace with a lot of things.

The world didn’t just lose a pop icon when Michael Jackson left us, we lost a heartbeat. A soul that danced not just on stage, but in hospital rooms, orphanages, and war-torn cities. He gave us more than music. He gave us hope.Michael didn’t just sing “Heal the World,” he ****** tried to. He poured over $500 million ($1 billion which inflation factored in) into humanitarian causes. He visited burn victims while recovering from his own injuries. He opened his home to sick kids, gave concert tickets to the ones who couldn’t afford a damn thing, and built foundations that outlived him. He saw pain and didn’t look away. He acted. Quietly. Without the need for applause.But since he left, the world feels… colder. Louder. Meaner.We lost the man who moonwalked across boundaries and whispered to us that we were not alone. We lost the dreamer who believed kids deserved joy, who believed music could mend broken hearts, who believed in us, even when we didn’t believe in ourselves.Today, we remember the boy who never stopped believing in Neverland.The man who gave everything and asked for nothing but love.The artist who turned pain into poetry, and loneliness into light.The world is darker without him.And maybe, just maybe, it’s gone to shit because the one person who actually gave a **** about healing it isn’t here to remind us how.Happy Birthday, Michael.You’re missed in ways words can’t hold.

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Michael Jackson!
🌟


Today we celebrate not only the icon, but the friend who filled our days with laughter.

I’ll never forget those moments in the dance studio — eating sushi, talking about movies, music, or just life. Sometimes the best memories weren’t about creating on stage, but about laughing together off stage. Always light-hearted, always full of joy.

Your spirit continues to inspire and your laughter still echoes in my heart.

Happy Birthday, most beautiful human being ❤️.

Thank you for everything...for reminding me every day that being "different" doesn't mean you are weird, it often just means other people are narrow minded. And for teaching me that surrendering is not an option. And also for making me try to be a "nice person" (it is very hard, but I am REALLY trying, I swear 😅).

Love you more.
 
Why cant i think of anything to say?
Happy Birthday Michael, we love you the mostest even if you think thats not possible. I pray that one day I will get to worship the Lord with you in heaven. You have done so much for this world and its hard for me to wrap my head around all you have done to serve others instead of yourself. So many people have tried to take away your humanity, but I loved you before i knew of your fame. we miss you applehead.
im also making a drawing but i is slow and i wish i started it sooner, hopefully i can get it on here soon.
 
Happy birthday dear Michael. I wasn't home yesterday to come here so I'm a little late. But I thought of you on this special day. If there really is something after death, I hope I can meet you. Even with almost two decades without you, you inspire and are still loved. We will not forget you ☺️
