Michael Jackson was born on the 29th of August, 1958 as "Michael
Joseph Jackson".
Michael Jackson was born to parents Joseph and Katherine Jackson
in Gary, Indiana USA. The Jacksons were a large family with nine
children, Michael being the 7th child. All nine children, Rebbie,
Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, LaToya, Marlon, Randy, Janet, and Michael
Jackson lived with their parents in a small 2 bedroom house, with
their father Joseph Jackson having to support the large family
with the income of a steel mill worker.
The family were Jehovah's Witnesses and loved singing and playing
music. In the mid 60s, five of the Jackson brothers (Jackie, Tito,
Marlon, Jermaine and Michael) formed the "Jackson 5"
with Michael being the lead singer. Jackson's father was very
strict on his children and is reported to have beaten them if
they did not perform to his satisfaction. The Jackson 5 ( also
known as The Jackson Five, The Jackson 5ive, J5 or The Jacksons)
went on to sell more than 100 million albums worldwide and operate
in one form or another from 1962 through 1990.
Michael Jackson was the most popular member of the group and went
to further his success and popularity with his own solo career.
He went on to be one of the best selling pop singers of all time,
releasing hit album after hit album. From his 1979 solo release
"Off the Wall" to the wildly successful 1982 album "Thriller",
Jackson became an icon in the music industry. The pop star has
sold more than 170 millions albums worldwide, with his "Thriller"
album being the highest selling album ever, with more than 50
millions sold.
Michael Jackson has also been a fascination with media worldwide.
His every move is photographed by the paparazzi and talked about
in gossip magazines, newspapers and publications worldwide. His
sometimes eccentric behavior and lifestyle have fueled the media's
interest in "The King of Pop" or "Wacko Jacko",
depending on the story at the time.
Jackson was married to Elvis Presley's daughter Lisa Marie Presley
1994, a marriage that lasted 2 years. He then married "Debbie
Rowe" in 1996 and had two children with her (Prince Michael
and Paris Katherine) . Rowe and Jackson were divorced in 1999
with Jackson gaining full parental rights. In 2002 Jackson had
another son with a surrogate mother, called Prince Michael II
(nicknamed Blanket).
Michael Jackson has been accused of child molestation several
times but was acquitted of all charges.
