The King of Pop


Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958 in Indiana. He was the eighth child in
a family of ten children – he had three sisters and six brothers. He had a difficult
relationship with his father. His brothers played in a band called the Jackson Five.
Jackson was a musical prodigy and soon became the star of the Jackson Five. He
was a fantastic singer and dancer.
In the 1980s Jackson left the band and began singing on his own. He was very
successful and sold millions of records. But he had a lot of problems, too. People
were worried about his behavior, and he needed a lot of help from doctors. In 1988 he
built a house called Neverland which cost $17 million. He closed the house in 2006
because he didn’t have enough money to keep it.
Jackson married twice and had three children – two with his second wife, Debbie
Rowe. He named them Michael Joseph Jr. (Prince), Paris-Michael, and Prince
Michael II (Blanket). The world-famous King of Pop died in 2009 at the age of 50.
