The death of Michael Jackson has been the biggest shock to the music world since the death of John Lennon in 1980 and Elvis Presley in 1977.
No other celebrity has impacted in death as much as Jackson, Lennon and Presley.Earlier in the week we heard from Lisa-Marie Presley commenting on how her former husband always thought he would die like her father Elvis.
Today, John Lennon’s wife Yoko Ono commented on the death of Michael Jackson.
This is what she had to say:
"With his enormous talent, Michael kept giving us power, inspiration and joy. Yet he knew that the world was not kind to him for many reasons, some of it going right back to racism.
That must have been so hard for him. His various attempts to be loved by the world equaled the pain he received from it.
Michael, now you are free from all that. Rest well in Peace. ?We will always remember you and love you for what you were to us.
With love, Yoko Ono Lennon June, 2009
