Michael Jackson began performing as a child with the Jackson 5 at Motown and went on to become one of the most influential entertainers of the twentieth century, with his 1982 album Thriller widely recognized as the best-selling album of all time and his music videos helping to reshape MTV and the role of video in popular music. His death on June 25, 2009, prompted an outpouring of public grief around the world, and on July 7, 2009, a public memorial was held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, with tickets distributed to fans through a lottery. The service, which included performances and tributes from artists such as Stevie Wonder, Lionel Richie, Mariah Carey, Usher and Jennifer Hudson, was broadcast internationally and became one of the most widely viewed memorial events in history.
Condition: Very good with common signs of age, handling, and storage.
