When Rowe and Jackson divorced in 1999. Jackson would go on to have a third child, Prince
Michael Jackson II who went by “Blanket” and now “Bigi,” with an unknown surrogate in 2002. His
parents were Joseph Jackson, a crane operator, and Katherine Jackson, a homemaker and a devout
Jehovah’s Witness. Both of Jackson’s parents previously had musical aspirations themselves:
Katherine played clarinet and piano and had aspired to be a country singer, while Joseph was a
guitarist who performed in local R&B bands. They encouraged their children to pursue musical
ambitions, and Jackson’s career in music began at the age of 5 under his father’s encouragement.
Almost all of Jackson’s siblings made marks in the music industry, including Rebbie, Jackie,Tito,
Jermaine, La Toya, Marlon, Randy, and Janet Jackson.
Their music included a wide range of genres such as pop, rhythm and blues (soul and funk), rock,
disco and dance and played the piano, synthesizer, guitar, drums and other percussion. He could do
it, albeit with a basic knowledge of each instrument. The genius of the king of pop was never in the
theoretical or practical knowledge of music.. Jackson achieved unparalleled success with the release
of his six solo album Thriller (1982), which as of August 2021 was still recognized by Guinness
World Records as the best-selling album of all time, having sold 67 million copies worldwide and 34
million units in the United States alone. The album stayed on the charts for 80 weeks after its release,
Jackson’s first solo effort for Epic, Off the Wall (1979), exceeded all expectations and was the best-
selling album of the year (it eventually sold more than 20 million copies). Produced by industry
veteran Quincy Jones, Off the Wall yielded the massive international hit singles “Don’t Stop ’til You
Get Enough” and “Rock with You,” both of which showcased Michael’s energetic style and
capitalized on the contemporary disco dance fad. Michael stood out for his exceptional enthusiasm
and soft, infectious musical voice.
Jackson died on June 25, 2009, at the age of 50, after suffering a cardiac arrest in his Los Angeles
home. CPR attempts failed, and he was rushed to the hospital, where he died later that morning. In
February 2010, an official coroner’s report revealed Jackson’s cause of death was acute propofol
intoxication, or a lethal overdose on a prescription drug cocktail including the sedatives midazolam,
diazepam, and lidocaine.
