On June 25, xxxx, Jackson died while in his bed at his rented mansion at 100 North Carolwood Drive in the Holmby Hills district of Los Angeles. Attempts at resuscitating him by Conrad Murray, his personal physician, were unsuccessful.[232] Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics received a 911 call at 12:22 (PDT, 19:22 UTC), arriving three minutes later at Jackson's location.[233][234] He was reportedly not breathing and CPR was performed.[235] Resuscitation efforts continued en route to the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, and for more than an hour after arriving there at 1:13 (20:13 UTC). He was pronounced dead at 2:26 local time (21:26 UTC).[236][237] Jackson's death triggered a global outpouring of grief.[232]After his death, Jackson became the best-selling albums artist of xxxx. He sold over 8.2 million albums in the United States, and a total of 35 million albums worldwide, in the 12 months that followed his death.[273][274] Jackson became the first artist to sell one million downloads in a week in download history, with a record-breaking 2.6 million downloads of his songs. After his death three of his albums sold more than any new album which was the first time a catalog album has ever scanned more sales than any new album.[275] Jackson also became the first artist in history to have four of the top 20 best selling albums in a single year in the United States.[276] Following this surge in sales, Sony announced that they had extended their relationship with his material. The distribution rights held by Sony Music were due to expire in xxxx.[277] On March 16, xxxx, Sony Music Entertainment, in a move spearheaded by its Columbia/Epic Label Group division, signed a new deal with the Jackson estate to extend their distribution rights to his back catalogue until at least xxxx, as well as to obtain permission to release ten new albums with previously unreleased material and new collections of released work.[278] On November 4, xxxx Sony announced the release of Michael, the first posthumous album set to be released on December 14, with the promotional single released to the radios on November 8, titled "Breaking News".[279] The deal was unprecedented in the music industry as it is the most expensive music contract pertaining to a single artist in history; it reportedly involved Sony Music paying $250 million for the deal, with the Jackson estate getting the full sum as well as its share of royalties for all works released.[277][280] Video game developer Ubisoft announced it would release a new dancing-and-singing game featuring Michael Jackson for the xxxx holiday season. The game titled Michael Jackson: The Experience will be among the first to use Kinect and PlayStation Move, the respective motion-detecting camera systems for Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3 due out later that year.[281]Jackson's music took root in R&B, pop and soul. He had been influenced by the work of musicians such as Little Richard, James Brown, Jackie Wilson, Diana Ross, Fred Astaire,[299] Sammy Davis, Jr.,[299] Gene Kelly,[300] David Ruffin,[301] The Isley Brothers, the Bee Gees and the West Side Story dancers, to whom he made a tribute in "Beat It" and in the "Bad" video.[302] According to David Winters, who met and befriended Jackson while choreographing the xxxx Diana Ross TV Special "Diana!", (which was also Jackson's first solo debut outside of The Jackson 5), Jackson watched West Side Story almost every week and it was his favorite film.[303][304][305] While Little Richard had a substantial influence on Jackson,[306][307] James Brown was Jackson's greatest inspiration. In reference to Brown, Jackson declared: "Ever since I was a small child, no more than like six years old, my mother would wake me no matter what time it was, if I was sleeping, no matter what I was doing, to watch the television to see the master at work. And when I saw him move, I was mesmerized. I had never seen a performer perform like James Brown, and right then and there I knew that was exactly what I wanted to do for the rest of my life because of James Brown."[308]Unlike many artists, Jackson did not write his songs on paper. Instead he would dictate into a sound recorder, and when recording he would sing the lyrics from memory.[311] In most of his songs, such as "Billie Jean", "Who Is It", and "Tabloid Junkie", he would beatbox and imitate the instruments using his voice instead of playing the actual instruments, along with other sounds. Jackson noted that it is easier to sing a drum line, or sing a bass, instead of playing a drum line or a bass with an instrument. Several critics have said that Jackson's distinct voice was able to replace any instrument convincingly. Steve Huey of Allmusic said that, throughout his solo career, Jackson's versatility allowed him to experiment with various themes and genres.[2] As a musician, he ranged from Motown's dance fare and ballads to techno and house-edged new jack swing to work that incorporates both funk rhythms and hard rock guitar.[108][312][313]Black and white photo of Jackson holding a microphone and singingJackson in xxxx, performing live at his record-breaking Bad world tourAccording to Huey, Thriller refined the strengths of Off the Wall; the dance and rock tracks were more aggressive, while the pop tunes and ballads were softer and more soulful.[2] Notable tracks included the ballads "The Lady in My Life", "Human Nature" and "The Girl Is Mine"; the funk pieces "Billie Jean" and "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'"; and the post-disco set "Baby Be Mine" and "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)".[2][312][313][314][315] With Thriller, Christopher Connelly of Rolling Stone commented that Jackson developed his long association with the subliminal theme of paranoia and darker imagery.[315] Allmusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine noted this is evident on the songs "Billie Jean" and "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'".[313] In "Billie Jean", Jackson sings about an obsessive fan who alleges he has fathered a child of hers.[2] In "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" he argues against gossip and the media.[315] "Beat It" decried gang violence in an homage to West Side Story, and was Jackson's first successful rock cross-over piece, according to Huey.[2][108] He also observed that the title track "Thriller" began Jackson's interest with the theme of the supernatural, a topic he revisited in subsequent years.[2] In xxxx, Jackson co-wrote the charity anthem "We Are the World"; humanitarian themes later became a recurring theme in his lyrics and public persona.[2] "Thriller"Menu0:00One of Jackson's signature pieces, "Thriller", released as a single in xxxx, utilizes cinematic sound effects, horror film motifs and vocal trickery to convey a sense of danger.[28]"Smooth Criminal"Menu0:00A single from the album Bad, released xxxx, "Smooth Criminal" features digital drum sounds, keyboard-created bass lines and other percussion elements designed to give the impression of a pulsing heart.[316]"Black or White"Menu0:00The lead single from Dangerous, the danceable hard rock song "Black or White" was one of Jackson's most successful recordings.[317][318] It contains many features of Jackson's vocal style, including the vocal hiccup he is known for.Problems playing these files? See media help.In Bad, Jackson's concept of the predatory lover can be seen on the rock song "Dirty Diana".[319] The lead single "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" is a traditional love ballad, while "Man in the Mirror" is an anthemic ballad of confession and resolution.[86] "Smooth Criminal" was an evocation of bloody assault, rape and likely murder.[86] Allmusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine states that Dangerous presents Jackson as a very paradoxical individual.[320] He comments the album is more diverse than his previous Bad, as it appeals to an urban audience while also attracting the middle class with anthems like "Heal the World".[320] The first half of the record is dedicated to new jack swing, including songs like "Jam" and "Remember the Time".[321] The album is Jackson's first where social ills become a primary theme; "Why You Wanna Trip on Me", for example, protests against world hunger, AIDS, homelessness and drugs.[321] Dangerous contains sexually charged efforts such as the multifaceted love song, "In the Closet".[321] The title track continues the theme of the predatory lover and compulsive desire.[321] The second half includes introspective, pop-gospel anthems such as "Will You Be There", "Heal the World" and "Keep the Faith"; these songs show Jackson opening up about various personal struggles and worries.[321] In the ballad "Gone Too Soon", Jackson gives tribute to his friend Ryan White and the plight of those with AIDS.[322]HIStory creates an atmosphere of paranoia.[323] Its content focuses on the hardships and public struggles Jackson went through just prior to its production. In the new jack swing-funk-rock efforts "Scream" and "Tabloid Junkie", along with the R&B ballad "You Are Not Alone", Jackson retaliates against the injustice and isolation he feels, and directs much of his anger at the media.[324] In the introspective ballad "Stranger in Moscow", Jackson laments over his "fall from grace", while songs like "Earth Song", "Childhood", "Little Susie" and "Smile" are all operatic pop pieces.[323][324] In the track "D.S.", Jackson launched a verbal attack against Tom Sneddon. He describes Sneddon as an antisocial, white supremacist who wanted to "get my ass, dead or alive". Of the song, Sneddon said, "I have not?shall we say?done him the honor of listening to it, but I've been told that it ends with the sound of a gunshot".[325] Invincible found Jackson working heavily with producer Rodney Jerkins.[2] It is a record made up of urban soul like "Cry" and "The Lost Children", ballads such as "Speechless", "Break of Dawn" and "Butterflies" and mixes hip-hop, pop and R&B in "xxxx Watts", "Heartbreaker" and "Invincible".[326][327]The young Michael Jackson owed his vocal technique in large part to Diana Ross. Not only a mother figure to him, she was often observed in rehearsal as an accomplished performer. He later expressed: "I got to know her well. She taught me so much. I used to just sit in the corner and watch the way she moved. She was art in motion. I studied the way she moved, the way she sang ? just the way she was." He told her: "I want to be just like you, Diana." She said: "You just be yourself."[309] But Jackson owed part of his enduring style?especially his use of the oooh interjection?to Ross. From a young age, Jackson often punctuated his verses with a sudden exclamation of oooh. Diana Ross had used this effect on many of the songs recorded with The Supremes.[310]Jackson was reported to be one of the largest owners of property on the moon. In xxxx, he bought a 1,200-acre (4.9 km2) plot in the Lake of Dreams and owned a smaller parcel in the Sea of Vapours. After his death, a crater on the moon was renamed Michael Joseph Jackson by The Lunar Republic Society in Jackson's honor. The crater, officially named Posidonius J, is located on an area of the moon known as the Lake of Dreams, or Lacus Somniorum. The crater is 22 kilometers across and is situated near Jackson's owned land. A spokesman for the society said: "The official designation of a Lunar crater is a singular honour bestowed upon only a select few luminaries. Among those receiving this rare tribute over the past century are Leonardo da Vinci, Christopher Columbus, Sir Isaac Newton, Julius Caesar and Jules Verne."[282][283]On November 3, xxxx, the theatrical performing company Cirque du Soleil announced that it would launch Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour in October xxxx in Montreal, while a permanent show will reside in Las Vegas.[284] The 90-minute US$57M production will combine Jackson's iconic musical oeuvre and choreography with the Cirque's signature artistry, dance and aerial displays involving 65 artists.[285] The tour was written and directed by Jamie King[286] and centers on Jackson's "inspirational Giving Tree ? the wellspring of creativity where his love of music and dance, fairy tale and magic, and the fragile beauty of nature are unlocked."[287] On October 3, xxxx, the accompanying compilation soundtrack album Immortal was announced to have over 40 Jackson's original recordings re-produced by Kevin Antunes.[288] A second, larger and more theatrical Cirque show entitled Michael Jackson: One designed for residency at the Mandalay Bay resort in Las Vegas was announced on February 21, xxxx. This show, whose production was written and directed by Jamie King who produced the Immortal show, began its run on May 23, xxxx in a newly renovated theater to both critical and commercial success.[289][290][291][292]In April xxxx, Jackson's longtime friend and billionaire businessman Mohamed Al-Fayed, chairman of Fulham Football Club, unveiled a statue of Jackson outside the club's stadium, Craven Cottage.[293] Fulham fans were bemused by the statue and failed to understand the relevance of Jackson to the club.[294] Al Fayed defended the statue and told the fans to "go to hell" if they did not appreciate it.[295] The statue was removed in September xxxx.[296]In xxxx, in an attempt to end family public feuding, Jackson's brother Jermaine Jackson retracted his signature on a letter made public criticizing executors of Michael Jackson's estate and his mother's advisers concerning the legitimacy of his brother's will.[297] T.J. Jackson, son of Tito Jackson, was given co-guardianship of Michael Jackson's children after false reports surfaced of Katherine Jackson going missing.[298]The news spread quickly online, causing websites to slow down and crash from user overload. Both TMZ and the Los Angeles Times suffered outages.[238] Google initially believed that the input from millions of people searching for "Michael Jackson" meant that the search engine was under DDoS attack, and blocked searches related to Michael Jackson for 30 minutes. Twitter reported a crash, as did Wikipedia at 3:15 pm PDT (22:15 UTC).[239] The Wikimedia Foundation reported nearly a million visitors to Jackson's biography within one hour, probably the most visitors in a one-hour period to any article in Wikipedia's history.[240] AOL Instant Messenger collapsed for 40 minutes. AOL called it a "seminal moment in Internet history", adding, "We've never seen anything like it in terms of scope or depth."[241]Around 15% of Twitter posts?or 5,000 tweets per minute?reportedly mentioned Jackson after the news broke,[242][243] compared to the 5% recalled as having mentioned the Iranian elections or the flu pandemic that had made headlines earlier in the year.[243] Overall, web traffic ranged from 11% to at least 20% higher than normal.[242][244] MTV and Black Entertainment Television (BET) aired marathons of Jackson's music videos.[245] Jackson specials aired on multiple television stations around the world. The British soap opera EastEnders added a last-minute scene, in which one character tells another about the news, to the June 26 episode.[246] Jackson was the topic of every front-page headline in the daily British tabloid The Sun for about two weeks following his death.[247] During the same period, the three major U.S. networks' evening newscasts?ABC World News, CBS Evening News, and NBC Nightly News?devoted 34% of their broadcast time to him.[248] Magazines including Time published commemorative editions.[249] A scene that had featured Jackson's sister La Toya was cut from the film Brüno out of respect towards Jackson's family.[250]Jackson's memorial was held on July 7, xxxx, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, preceded by a private family service at Forest Lawn Memorial Park's Hall of Liberty. Because of the high demand, organizers of the service fashioned a lottery style distribution method to give out tickets to members of the public. 1.6 million fans applied for tickets to the service over the two-day period that registration was open. 8,750 names were drawn at random to decide who to distribute tickets to, with each recipient receiving two tickets each.[251] Jackson's casket was present during the memorial but no information was released about the final disposition of the body. The memorial service was one of the most watched events in online streaming history.[252] The U.S. audience was estimated by Nielsen to be 31.1 million, an amount comparable to the estimated 35.1 million that watched the xxxx burial of former president Ronald Reagan, and the estimated 33.1 million Americans who watched the xxxx funeral for Princess Diana.[253]Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder, Lionel Richie, John Mayer, Jennifer Hudson, Usher, Jermaine Jackson, and Shaheen Jafargholi performed at the event. Berry Gordy and Smokey Robinson gave eulogies, while Queen Latifah read "We had him", a poem written for the occasion by Maya Angelou.[254] The Reverend Al Sharpton received a standing ovation with cheers when he told Jackson's children, "Wasn't nothing strange about your daddy. It was strange what your daddy had to deal with. But he dealt with it anyway."[255] The memorial is best remembered for when Jackson's 11-year-old daughter, Paris Katherine, speaking publicly for the first time cried as she told the crowd, "Ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine ... I just wanted to say I love him ... so much."[180][256] Reverend Lucious Smith provided a closing prayer.[257] On August 24, several news outlets quoted anonymous sources as stating that the Los Angeles coroner had decided to treat Jackson's death as a homicide; this was later confirmed by the coroner on August 28.[258][259] At the time of death, Jackson had been administered propofol, lorazepam and midazolam.[260] Law enforcement officials conducted a manslaughter investigation of his personal physician, Conrad Murray.[261] On February 8, xxxx, Murray was charged with involuntary manslaughter by prosecutors in Los Angeles.[262] Jackson was entombed on September 3, xxxx, at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.[263]Portrait and other tributes, including mural and messages from 650 Spanish fans, letters, pictures, teddy bears, and flowers.Tribute of fans from all over the world in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park on his first anniversary of deathOn June 25, xxxx, the first anniversary of Jackson's death, fans traveled to Los Angeles to pay their tribute to him.

The memorial continued with a candlelight vigil and a special performance of "We Are the World".[266][267] On June 26, there was a protest march in front of the Los Angeles Police Department's Robbery-Homicide Division at the old Parker Center building and a petition with thousands of signatures demanding justice was delivered.[268][269] The Jackson Family Foundation in conjunction with Voiceplate presented "Forever Michael", an event bringing together Jackson family members, celebrities, fans, supporters and the community to celebrate and honor his legacy.
