On this date 11 years ago, it was like a bad dream in real-time. That was also the day of my album release for “The Sound: Vol.3”, and that event at @reggieslive became a memorial concert. He is the pinnacle of artistry for me, and never in my life was I so distraught over the loss of a ‘celebrity’ or public figure. The goat 🐐/ undisputed. #michaeljackson #mj #june252009 #june #michael #greatestofalltime #kingofpop #art #wke #wklegacy https://www.instagram.com/p/CB3t0dlHMe5/?igshid=qa0l1gv3lhnt

Eight years have passed but it's still hard to believe we live in a world without you (and Prince and Whitney and Luther) in it. My heart both aches and soars when I hear your music being played. I still smile when I see your picture. Rest In Peace knowing that you've brought peace to at least one restless soul. #mj #michaeljosephjackson #kingofpop #myfirstmusiclove #rip #olivejuice #August291958 #June252009

God deems this life as it is. On August 29, 1958, he gave the world the talented Michael Jackson. On this day 8 years ago, June 25, 2009, he took back Michael Jackson on a day that practically stopped the planet. People wept, the internet crashed, and every tv monitor reported the tragedy. Today we still miss this great talent because we will never get another like him. The last of the mega star musicians. RIP Michael Jackson. #michaeljackson #1958 #2009 #kingofpop #thisisit #smile #mtv #rip #mj #8years #moonwalker #billiejean #thriller #offthewall #bad #dangerous #beatit #humannature #june252009

Today marks the 8th anniversary one of the worst days of my life. The first and biggest real piece of my identity was taken from me and for a very long time I felt lost and defeated having lost him. His loss took a very big toll for me. For a long time I couldn't listen to his music, watch any of his videos or look at any of his pictures. I took down and stored away every piece of memorabilia I had of him because it hurt too much to know that he was gone. It felt like a part of me died. His career inspired my individual artistry and creativity but his life inspired my fight and my spirit. To my family and friends, his name became synonymous with mine and on this day 8 years ago, I received an outpouring of support and condolences from people who I'd hadn't heard from for ages. People who knew me once upon a time grieved for me and wanted to know that they were thinking of me. They mourned for me over someone I had never really met or even really knew. My love for this man was what people remembered about me for the most for. It's because he was and still is the biggest part of who I am. Being his fan came with a lot of hardships, and a lot of fights but it also came with bonds I developed with people who I'll be friends with until the day I die. I think my favorite thing about my love for Michael Jackson is that my love didn't come from any influence of either of my parents. He was the first discovery I made for myself. In a way, discovered myself earlier in life than most people do. I'm forever grateful to lived in a time period where he existed. I have so much more of my life to live and his presence will remain in the rest of it ❤️ #MichaelJackson #RIP #8Years #June252009 #TheKingOfPop

Headlines the same on every page the spotlight dims itself upon the stage with no silhouette to fill its space silence surrounds his empty throne Laughter and love don't help or ease the tears we cry whilst on our knees this pain we feel will never cease the hole that makes us feel alone A day we hoped to never find make us wish we'd gone deaf and blind because we know that time will only remind us of June 2009 - Curtains close over a beautiful smile the voice and dance that defined our style the man we loved since we were a child the security that made us feel at home The heart can never say goodbye to the brightest star in the sky the muse and the soundtrack to our lives the idol we cherished and called our own A love nothing could ever revive it'll be hard for us to feel alive cling to our heart as we try to survive June 25th, 2009 #MichaelJackson #8Years #RIP #June252009 #TheKingOfPop
