Michael Jackson, Elvis, Paul McCartney...


The concept that Michael Jackson didn't actually die can get rather interesting.

There is the theory that MJ learned how Elvis faken his death.
Remember, he was Elvis's son-in-law for awhile.

And then there's his Paul McCartney connection.

Does anyone remember the "Paul is Dead" rumor decades ago?

Paul and Michael worked on three songs together in the early 80’s
McCartney also wrote the lyrics for the song Girlfriend which each recorded separately for their own albums.


Do you remember the banner at the first Michael Jackson funeral that said
"I'm alive and I'm here forever" ?

I thought that was a reference to fame -
both the concept of fame where your work lives on
and also the song Fame -
which says "Fame!  I'm gonna live forever."

It turns out, that line on the banner was a quote from the McCartney/Jackson duet The Man.

Spungoo on Youtube has a series of videos with theories that perhaps MJ didn't actually die.
The second video talks about the song "The Man".  Look around 5:30 into the video to find it.

Anyway, I found it interesting that Michael Jackson had connections to other pop stars with a history
(whether deserved or not) of death hoaxes.

I wonder what other celebs MJ worked with who have been connected in some way with perceived (by some) death hoaxes...
