ZAGREB, CROATIA – The news about the death of Michael Jackson shocked the entire world, including Croatia. Sharing their sorrow with thousands of fans, people left a rose and a message “Michael, Croatia loves you” besides which they lit a candle by his photograph on one of the walls at Zagreb’s main square.

Although doctors tried to reanimate him for more than an hour, he could not be saved. The king of pop forever left this world in which he enjoyed fame not seen since Elvis Presley.

He sold over 750 million albums and won as many as 13 Grammy awards. After he was charged for molesting children in 2005, he rarely appeared in public and in recent years he was high in debt.
He was to begin his last tour on July 9. “This is it” were the last words Jacko said to his faithful fans and that was to have been the name of his farewell tour.
