Michael Joseph Jackson (nicknamed Wacko Jacko) was an American singer. He was born in 1958 at Gary, Indiana and died in 2009 of a heartattack. He started his career with his brothers singing in 'The Jackson Five', when he was eleven years old and went on to become one of the biggest music stars of all time, his album 'Thriller' selling more copies than any other record. Michael Jackson was denied a child hood, by his father, being pushed to become a music star and forced to perform, an abuse which left the performer an eccentric character, his adult life being dogged by peculiarities, not least of which was the constant operations to alter his appearance and make him appear more caucasian and less negro. Allegations of childabuse were denied, and he was acquitted, though the suspicion remained, fuelled in no small part by his reclusive nature and obsession with infantile behaviour, he lived on a ranch he called 'Never Land', a reference to the play Peter Pan.
