Michael Jackson's Biography

The biography of Michael Jackson has always provoked a lot of talk among the masses and the media. On the one hand - the standard of musical skill, philanthropist and man with a capital letter, on the other - a "strange" personality with a lot of not the most pleasant court charges. The childhood and youth of Michael Jackson were held in endless concerts and cruel attitude of the father to him and his brothers. And childhood, as such, Michael was not. Maybe that's why he was a bit strange, a sort of "big kid".

Michael Jackson was born August 29, 1958 in Gary (USA), and began to perform on stage with his brothers from the age of 5 on school concerts and on the opening in strip clubs. In the 1970s, the band The Jackson 5 is gaining a frenzied popularity and is in the lead in the US charts. From the whole group stands out Michael is his unusual manner to move on stage. In the end, it gradually separates from the "Five of Jackson", is recorded solo and becomes world famous. And it began with the album "Off the Wall", released in 1979. The most successful creation of Michael was the album "Thriller", he received 8 of 19 "Grammy" awards, which were awarded to the musician. In 1983, at one of his shows, Jackson first showed a "moon walk", and a little later in the clip to the track "Smooth Criminal" - an antigravity slope. Both of them became his creative autograph. But the glory of the world did not spoil Michael - he donated tens of millions of dollars for charity (including in Russia and the CIS), considering this his main mission. Jackson was twice publicly accused of pedophilia, but later these charges disintegrated.

The wife of Michael Jackson is the daughter of the king of rock and roll Elvis

They met in the distant 1974, when Michael was 16, and Lisa Maria was only 6. Elvis Presley liked the young man with a sense of humor, and he advised his daughter to be friends with him. Once again they met only in 1993 and since then they have become inseparable. They had many things in common: a love of music and a difficult life, devoid of childhood. When Jackson was first accused of molesting a minor, they called each other every day, and Presley supported him as best she could. In one of these phone conversations, Michael made her an offer. They made a secret secret from the press and relatives, and for another two months kept the marriage a secret.

The first wife of Michael Jackson, Lisa Maria Presley, served as a real support for the musician in difficult times. It was she who persuaded him to solve the issue of accusations of pedophilia in a non-judicial order and undergo rehabilitation in the clinic (Michael was dependent on pain medications due to a severe burn in 1984, obtained during the filming of Pepsi advertising). The personal life of Michael Jackson with his first wife did not stick together - the couple constantly quarreled, there were a lot of disagreements. Lisa Maria was not going to give birth to a child, which Jackson so wanted, arguing that he needed a parent himself. As a result, their marriage lasted only a year and a half. But, despite a troubled family life, Michael and Lisa broke up friends.

The second wife of Michael Jackson and his children

With Deborah Row Michael met in the 80's when she worked as a nurse at a dermatologist, whose singer was observed about vitiligo (a systemic disease from which Jackson's skin gradually became white). She idolized the singer and, according to a friend, was even obsessed with him. Debbie herself said that no one knows Michael like her. Perhaps she is one of those few people who did not call him "strange." The nurse asked Jackson to give birth to a child, whom he himself will raise.

Their marriage was very similar to a fictitious one - a modest wedding at the hotel, rumors of artificial conception of children (which suggests the lack of an intimate life for the couple), suspicion of the economic relations of the couple (allegedly, she gave birth to children for the sake of money).

But, anyway, Michael Jackson's family had long-awaited children: in 1997 the son Michael Joseph Jackson Jr. (Prince Michael) was born, and in 1998 - the daughter of Paris Michael Catherine Jackson. Michael Jackson's wife and children lived in different houses, which also looked rather strange, and in 1999, Debbie Rowe signed a waiver of the rights to own children, giving them to her husband. In the same year, Michael and Deborah filed a divorce.

After the divorce in 1999, Jackson decided on a third child, who in 2002 was born to him by a surrogate mother , whose name is not even known by Michael himself. The second son's father named Prince Michael Jackson II. After the death of Michael Jackson in 2009, his mother and grandmother of children - Catherine Jackson - took over custody of the children.
