Yesterday, the 'King of Pop' would've been 64 years old.
The death of Michael Jackson stunned the world in 2009, with most people being able to pinpoint exactly where they were when the legendary musician suffered a heart attack in the summer of 2009 at his home in LA.
It was later discovered the 50-year-old's death had been caused by a fatal concoction of drugs that had been given to him by his personal doctor.

The American left behind the legacy of his music (having planned to start a 'This is It' tour), but he also left behind three young children.
Prince, Paris and Blanket had the spotlight on them from the moment they were born, and were regularly seen with their faces covered in an attempt to hide their identity.
But now the singer's children have all grown up and established lives for themselves, here's what they've been doing and where they are now.
Prince Jackson
Michael Joseph Jackson Jr, who's also known as Prince, is the oldest of Michael Jackson's children.
Prince was born in 1997 and his mother was Jackson's first wife, Debbie Rowe, however Prince was raised by his father.
Prince hasn't followed in his dad's musical footsteps, but he has been in the spotlight.
The now-25-year-old has made various TV appearances, including as a guest correspondent on Entertainment Tonight.
Prince has a passion for motorcycles and has posted several videos of him riding them on YouTube, where he has over 25,000 subscribers.
He graduated with a degree in business from Loyola Marymount University in 2019, where he met his current girlfriend Molly Schirmang, who he's been dating for five years.
Prince has also gone on to found the Heal Los Angeles foundation, which aims to improve the lives of young people in LA.
Paris Jackson
Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson is Michael's only daughter, who he also had with his first wife Debbie.
Paris was born in 1998 and when Michael and Debbie divorced in 1999, he was granted full custody of both Paris and Prince.
Paris went through a tough time in her teenage years as she battled with depression, grief and drug addiction, and even attempted to take her own life when she was just 15 years old.
She was sent to a behaviour modification school for almost two years and later revealed to her Instagram followers that she was "diagnosed with PTSD because of it and continue to have nightmares and trust issues".
Since then, she's worked hard to overcome her struggles with addiction and has continued her father's legacy by becoming a musician.
She's also established a successful career as an actress and model. She starred on TV series Star and Scream, in the movie Gringo and is signed to IMG Models. In 2020, she also signed a deal with Republic Records and released her first single, Let Down.
Paris has amassed a massive 3.9 million followers on Instagram, where she regularly shares pictures of herself performing.
She recently performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and appeared on the cover of Spin Magazine.
Blanket Jackson
Michael Jackson's youngest child, Prince Michael Jackson II, was born in February 2003.
He quickly earned the nickname Blanket, as he was usually seen covered in a blanket to keep his identity hidden, but he is known known by the name Bigi after he decided to stop using the old nickname.
Nine months after Bigi was born, Michael made headlines as he dangled him over the railing of a hotel balcony in Berlin. The singer later admitted he'd made a "terrible mistake".
Michael's youngest son was just seven years old when he died and has led a life relatively out of the spotlight since.
However, he did make a rare TV appearance last year to discuss his father's legacy on Good Morning Britain as he was interviewed at the family's home in California, where his brother was throwing a Halloween party to raise money for the Heal Los Angeles Foundation.
During the interview he said: "There's a lot of history in this house and the studio here. That's what he was all about. That's what each of us want to do and make things that people can enjoy and hopefully benefit their lives."
Bigi hasn't gone on to follow in his father's footsteps after admitting in a 2012 interview for the Jacksonology that he "can't sing or dance".
However, he's said to have achieved straight As in school and in 2020 he splashed out £2million on his own luxury six-bedroom home.
