OlderMichael Jackson: Entertainment Weekly Tribute Cover
Here’s just one of the four separate tribute covers available this week from Entertainment Weekly. The covers feature Michael Jackson singing at home in 1972; on the set of the “Thriller” video in 1983 (pictured here); a portrait taken in 1983; and performing in New York City on Sept. 10, 2001.
EW columnist Stephen King writes, “It’s worth noting that he was never convicted of anything in criminal court, and when I asked Mick—who hung out with Michael occasionally— he was emphatic in his belief that Michael Jackson was indeed innocent of the abuse allegations. In the court of public opinion, however, he was found guilty of Weirdness in the First Degree, and ended up secluded in one haunted castle after another. Finally, he died in one. Strange man. Lost man. And not unique in his passing. Like James Dean, Elvis Presley, Kurt Cobain, Heath Ledger, and a dozen others we could name, he just left the building far too soon. Because, man oh man, that guy could dance.”

RIP MIchael !
I will always love your music.
I hope, you are in safe hands now..
all the different covers are cool. good idea.
There’s no talent such as James Dean and Elvis Presley. I love them to death!
No recent pictures.
What a beautiful young man he was.
I don’t wish bad things on people, but a mac truck should come along and squash his father for all the damage he did to this young man. Not excusing his mother either! She should didn’t protect him.
RIP MJ!
I like the different covers too; he was so handsome as a child – DAMN YOU Joe Jackson for making him believe otherwise….
I do like what the columist said, he actually makes sense; unlike some.
I’m getting all four!
FOUR covers and not one of Farrah Fawcett?? What a joke!
@Shana:
We never got to know the full potential of Jimmy. Died too young. I drove by the accident site where Jimmy died. Loved fast cards and motorcycles and paid a heavey price. Sad that we never got to see just how big he could become.
I never found him wierd. I found all the people who dissed him wierd! THEY WERE THE WIERD ONES!
re: rocky
i agree. i dont find him that weird at all either. there’s always two sides to every story, and unfortunately this “weird” side is the side the media ran with.
This is the Michael I remember. He was so handsome in the 80s during the thriller days. He was fit and not too…. weird.
.
He seemed to be in an eternal pre-adolescence. What does that say about him psychologically?
PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT HIM
WHEN HE WAS DEAD NOBODY SAID ANYTHING NICE AND NOW OUT OF NOWHERE EVERYONES LOVES HIM
COME ON
FOUR covers and not one of Farrah Fawcett?? That is just wrong!
@male:
I was ALWAYS a MJ fan and NEVER believed any of the crap the media said about him. ITA with you that they should SHUT UP! It was OK to slam him when he was alive and now everyone loves him. Bunch of A**Ho**s!!!

God bless your beautiful soul and spirit, Michael. I know you feel the love down here we’re sending your way…..RIP
I wish i had the chance to see THE KING OF POP live, i waited too long.
I’m grateful for witnessing his legacy!
Michael Jackson shared his God given talent with us for his complete life. He will be very much missed. His talent was complimented by a generous sensitive soul. Thank you Michael.
hate to break it, but no one really cares bout farah fawcett
True words Steven—–I can understand that he mentioned Elvis, James Dean and even Kurt Cobain—but Heath Ledger—he seriously wasn´t playing in the same league as them, let alone Michael Jackaon.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks MJ was innocent!
It’s like pulling teeth trying to make other people realize that they were just gold digging parents taking advantage of their relationship with a successful person.
But you try explaining that to anyone and they think your supporting a child molester…
RIP MJ. You will be remembered forever as the greatest entertainer to walk the planet.
ew writer stephen king obviously you need to quit or be fired from your job if the only statement that you can think of when referring to Mr. Michael Jackson is “man oh man that guy could dance”. Yes, he could dance but to sum up his legacy with such a comment is demeaning and disrespectful to his other accomplishments.
not fair all this coverage and farrah is left behind
