 Personal Life:
including his changing appearance, personal relationships, and behavior,
generated
controversy.
In
the
mid-1990s,
he
was
accused of child sexual abuse, but the civil case was settled out of court for
an undisclosed amount and no formal charges were brought.[9] In 2005, he
was tried and acquitted of further child sexual abuse allegations and several
other charges after the jury found him not guilty on all counts. While preparing
for his comeback concert series titled This Is It, Jacksondied of acute propofol
and benzodiazepine intoxication on June 25, 2009, after suffering from
cardiac arrest. The Los Angeles County Coroner ruled his death a homicide,
and
his
personal
physician Conrad Murray was convicted of
involuntary manslaughter. Jackson's death triggered a global outpouring of
grief and a live broadcast of his public memorial service was viewed around
the world.

Michael Joseph Jackson was born on August 29, 1958. He was the eighth of
ten children in an African-American working-class family who lived in a twobedroom house in Gary, Indiana, an industrial city and a part of the
Chicago metropolitan area.[11][12] His mother, Katherine Esther Scruse, was a
devout Jehovah's Witness. She once aspired to be a country and western
performer who played clarinet and piano, but worked part-time at Sears to
help support the family.[13] His father, Joseph Walter "Joe" Jackson, a former
boxer, was a steelworker atU.S. Steel. Joe also performed on guitar with a
local R&B band called The Falcons to supplement the family's household
income.[14]Michael grew up with three sisters (Rebbie, La Toya, and Janet)
and five brothers (Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Randy).[15] A sixth
brother, Marlon's elder twin Brandon, died shortly after birth

Jackson had a troubled relationship with his father, Joe.[17][18] In 2003, Joe
acknowledged that he regularly whipped Jackson as a boy.[19]Joe was also
said to have verbally abused his son, often saying that he had a "fat nose".[20]
Jackson stated that he was physically and emotionally abused during
incessant rehearsals, though he also credited his father's strict discipline with
playing a large role in his success.[17] Speaking openly about his childhood in
an interview with Oprah Winfrey, broadcast in February 1993, Jackson
acknowledged that his youth had been lonely and isolating.[21] Jackson's deep
dissatisfaction with his appearance, his nightmares and chronic sleep
problems, his tendency to remain hyper-compliant, especially with his father,
and to remain childlike throughout his adult life, are consistent with the effects
of the maltreatment he endured as a young child.

In 1982, Jackson combined his interests in songwriting and film when he contributed
the song "Someone In the Dark" to the storybook for the film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial .
The song, with Quincy Jones as its producer, won a Grammy for Best Recording for
Children for 1983.[52] Even more success came after the release of Thriller in late
1982. The album earned Jackson seven more Grammys and eight American Music
Awards, including the Award of Merit, the youngest artist to win it.
"Thriller" was the best-selling album worldwide in 1983. [54][55] It became the best-selling
album
of
all
time
in
the
United
States, [56] and
the
[57]
best-selling album of all time worldwide , selling an estimated 65 million copies. The
album topped the Billboard 200 chart for 37 weeks and was in the top 10 of the 200
for 80 consecutive weeks. It was the first album to have seven Billboard Hot 100 top
10 singles, including "Billie Jean", "Beat It", and "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'".[58] In
March 2009 Thriller was certified for 29 million shipments by the RIAA,[59] giving it
Double Diamond status in the United States. Thriller won Jackson and Quincy Jones
the Grammy award for Producer of the Year (Non-Classical) for 1983. It also won
Album of the Year, with Jackson as the albums artist and Jones as its co-producer,
and a Best Pop Vocal Performance, Male, award for Jackson. "Beat It" won Record of
the Year, with Jackson as artist and Jones as co-producer, and a Best Rock Vocal
Performance, Male, award for Jackson. "Billie Jean" won Jackson two Grammy
awards, Best R&B Song, with Jackson as its songwriter, and Best R&B Vocal
Performance, Male, as its artist. Thriller also won another Grammy for Best
Engineered Recording Non Classical in 1984, awarding Bruce Swedien for his work
on the album.[60] The AMA Awards for 1984 provided Jackson with an Award of Merit
and AMAs for Favorite Male Artist, Soul/R&B, and Favorite Male Artist, Pop/Rock.
"Beat It" won Jackson AMAs for Favorite Video, Soul/R&B, Favorite Video, Pop/Rock,
and Favorite Single, Pop/Rock. Thriller won him AMAs for Favorite Album, Soul/R&B,
and Favorite Album, Pop/Rock.

John Winston Ono Lennon

Was an English singer and songwriter who rose to worldwide fame as a co-founder of
the band the Beatles, the most commercially successful band in the history of popular
music. With Paul McCartney, he formed a celebrated songwriting partnership.
Born and raised in Liverpool, as a teenager Lennon became involved in the skiffle
craze; his first band, the Quarrymen, evolved into the Beatles in 1960. When the
group disbanded in 1970, Lennon embarked on a solo career that produced the
critically acclaimed albums John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Imagine, and iconic
songs such as "Give Peace a Chance" and "Working Class Hero". After his marriage
to Yoko Ono in 1969, he changed his name to John Ono Lennon. Lennon disengaged
himself from the music business in 1975 to raise his infant son Sean, but re-emerged
with Ono in 1980 with the new album Double Fantasy. He was murdered three weeks
after its release.
Lennon revealed a rebellious nature and acerbic wit in his music, writing, drawings,
on film and in interviews. Controversial through his political and peace activism, he
moved to Manhattan in 1971, where his criticism of the Vietnam War resulted in a
lengthy attempt by Richard Nixon's administration to deport him, while some of his
songs were adopted as anthems by theanti-war movement and the
larger counterculture.

Lennon was born in war-time England, on 9 October 1940 at Liverpool Maternity

Hospital to Julia (ne Stanley) and Alfred Lennon, a merchant seaman of Irish
descent, who was away at the time of his son's birth. [2] His parents named him
John Winston Lennon after his paternal grandfather, John "Jack" Lennon, and
then-Prime Minister Winston Churchill.[3] His father was often away from home but
sent regular pay cheques to 9 Newcastle Road, Liverpool, where Lennon lived with
his mother,[4] but the cheques stopped when he went absent without leave in
February 1944.[5][6] When he eventually came home six months later, he offered to
look after the family, but Juliaby then pregnant with another man's child
rejected the idea.[7] After her sister, Mimi Smith, twice complained to Liverpool's
Social Services, Julia handed the care of Lennon over to her. In July 1946
Lennon's father visited Smith and took his son to Blackpool, secretly intending to
emigrate to New Zealand with him. [8] Julia followed themwith her partner at the
time, 'Bobby' Dykinsand after a heated argument his father forced the five-yearold to choose between them. Lennon twice chose his father, but as his mother
walked away, he began to cry and followed her.[9] It would be 20 years before he
had contact with his father again. [10]

251 Menlove Avenue, where Lennon lived for most of his childhood
Throughout the rest of his childhood and adolescence he lived with his aunt and
uncle, Mimi and George Smith, who had no children of their own, at Mendips, 251
Menlove Avenue, Woolton.[11] His aunt purchased volumes of short stories for him,
and his uncle, a dairyman at his family's farm, bought him a mouth organ and
engaged him in solving crossword puzzles.[12] Julia visited Mendips on a regular
basis, and when John was 11 years old he often visited her at 1 Blomfield Road,
Liverpool, where she played him Elvis Presley records, taught him the banjo, and
showed him how to play "Ain't That a Shame" by Fats Domino.[13] In September
1980, Lennon commented about his family and his rebellious nature :
