内容简介`The world has lost one of the greats but his music will live on forever' - Madonna
Michael Jackson was the undisputed King of Pop and his untimely death has provoked tributes from around the world. With a colourful life spanning from 1968 when Michael was a member of the Jackson 5 to his recent announcement of a final comeback tour at the O2 in London, nobody can dispute the achievements of the man who was arguably the greatest artist of the millenium.
This fully illustrated book offers an insightful tribute to the man behind Thriller, the world's best selling album of all time. Including sections on Michael's early life and the Jackson 5, the making of Off the Wall and Thriller, and the troubled years leading right up to his announcement of a comeback tour, this will be a comprehensive and fitting tribute to a legendary pop star, the likes of which the world will never be seen again.
作者简介James Aldis is a huge fan of Michael Jackson, having followed him ever since first being given a copy of 'Thriller' at the age of eight. He lives in London with his partner and was among the many fans to have bought tickets for his hero's 02 arena performances. Despite twenty years of trying, he is still unable to moonwalk like his hero. This is his first book.
序言Michael Jackson was without doubt the greatest performer ever to have lived. In his own lifetime he became a legend, transcending the boundaries that separated white and black audiences, creating sounds that had never before been heard, and writing music that will remain in the hearts of listeners for generations and generations to come. Never before or since has a recording artist achieved so much - from record-setting albums to astonishing acts of charity - and his impact on the domain of not only popular music but world culture itself will be felt down the ages. As a man and a performed Michael Jackson was totally unique. Influenced by the ghosts of an extraordinary childhood and beset by unflagging public scrutiny, the media frenzy which surrounded his untimely death was already a constant presence in a life that seemed to hold so little privacy but offer so many intriguing questions. Yet whatever the doubts and blames generated by his death, his legacy to the world will live on untarnished: as a man who wrote songs that the whole world could sing to.
