In 1982, Michael's solo carreer started with his first album "Thriller". With this song, the king of pop won 8 Grammy Awards and Thriller's video, directed by John Landis, is the most elaborate video in the history of music.
Michael Jackon is famous also because he invented a dance move, the "moonwalk". This singer seemed to be affected by a "Peter Pan syndrome", so he created his personal amusement park, "Neverland", with exotic pets and amusement rides; he also opened the runch for children's events.
There were a lot of rumours about Michael Jackson: people said that he was lightening the color of his skin to appear more white and he was accused to molestate children but the police didn't found any evidence in his house and Michael maintained his innocence.
In 1994 he married Lisa Marie Presley, but they divorced after two years: people said that their wedding was a publicity stunt. In 1996 he married Debbie Rowe and he had two children with her. Jackson became the most famous pop singer in the world: his mos famous songs are: Billie Jean, Thriller, Black or White and Heal the world. Succes was very stressful for him because he was a very sensitive man, so he started taking a lot of drugs and maybe that's the raison why he died on June 25, 2009 of cardiac arrest. His death was a real shock for his fans, because he was supposed to play a concert in London in July.
