The sudden death of Michael Jackson has stunned the world. His music touched people and moved them in ways that perhaps no other American recording artist ever has, or ever will.
Michael sold more than 750 million records worldwide. His sixth album, Thriller, sold 109 million copies alone; making it the best selling album of all time.
To honor the life and legacy of Michael Jackson, a tribute will be held in his honor TONIGHT at the Louisiana Boardwalk.
Participants are asked to bring candles, wear MJ paraphernalia and come ready to celebrate his life and legacy. The tribute will take place under the Texas Street Bridge, near the Saltgrass Steakhouse. It begins at 8 pm.
Event organizer James Haggard says this event was a no-brainer because Michael's music touched everyone. He says Michael Jackson's music was about Unity.
“It’s important to come together to remember Michael Jackson and to remember that we are one people,” Haggard adds.
That's why the tribute will end with those assembled singing "We Are The World" (written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie).
