I was at the Gatineau Lac-Leamy Hilton for my friend Akash’s 40 under 40 business man of the year award when I heard the news. I was shocked and sceptical. It made me think of one of Elvis Gratton’s movie when his wife his abducted and you only find out where she is at the end when she calls let him know she’s all right, that she can’t talk long since she’s on a secret Island with Elvis Presley, Lady Diana and so on… that in fact there death was just a stunt and everyone was living there in a state of eternal happiness!
I said to my husband in a sceptical/playful tone: I say Michael Jackson’s death is a stunt and that in fact he’s on that secret
Neverland Island with the rest of the bunch! Oh how I wish that was true for Micheal to live in peace.
I felt relieved hearing tributes to his music, for that in the end, Michael Jackson was moving on from the freak show of his last years to living on forever in our hearts through his music.
