Pop music icon's death

When husband and I heard about the death of Michael Jackson, we were both surprised by the news.

When his song 'Beat It' was playing on the radio in early 1980s, husband was recovering from a surgery in a Los Angeles hospital while I was still in primary school. Generally his songs are quite well written and have good melodies.

I just hope that successful singers and performers today learn some valuable lessons about doing something good with their fame and fortune, and learn to avoid the pitfalls of success.
