Fifteen years ago, Michael Jackson, known as the 'King of Pop,' died at the age of 50 from a lethal combination of drugs, including propofol, prescribed by his doctor. Jackson's death on June 25, 2009, in his Los Angeles home, marked a significant moment in music history. He began his career as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, releasing hits like 'ABC' and 'I Want You Back.' Jackson's influence extended beyond music, with a unique artistic thread connecting him to obscure Northern Irish novelist Stephen Gilbert. His final moments were marked by a desperate plea for more sedatives, followed by hours of CPR that left his ribs cracked. Jackson's last words have been described as haunting. The anniversary of his death is commemorated by fans and impersonators, including a recent meeting between a Michael Jackson impersonator and his sister, Janet Jackson.

For someone that u didn't know personally, that loss felt very personal. RIP KING OF POP. https://t.co/JYxDi0lwpH
