Michael Jackson, the world-famous singer and music icon, died Thursday, June 25, 2009, after being admitted into UCLA Medical Center for cardiac arrest. Jackson is well known for having a complicated and dramatic past, including undergoing multiple bouts of cosmetic surgery throughout his long and tumultous career.
Jackson first underwent plastic surgery in 1984 at age 26, slightly narrowing his nose while becoming famous for his hit song "Thriller".
The next year in 1985, Jackson obtained a second nose job and permanent eyeliner tattoos around his eyes. At this point Jackson was still at the peak of his career, with an entourage of staff taking care of all needs while he continued performing, entertaining, and donating to charities.
He was given the Heritage Award and praised by Queen Liz, President Reagan and others. Mike was everywhere, giving as much as he got and letting us all know how blessed he was. There was no one who wasn't impressed and didn't sprain an ankle trying to imitate his "Moon Walk" in their living room.
In 1987, Jackson changed his appearance considerably at age 29, eliciting more public outcry and media attention than his previous surgeries. The singer underwent nose surgery for the third time, and emerged with noticeably more prominent cheekbones and suddenly pale skin. Speculation suggested Jackson had contracted the medical condition vitiligo, which causes people of colour to lose pigment in their skin, though Jackson neither confirms nor denies this.
By 1991, Jackson has become almost unrecognizable from his former physical self, with still lighter skin, sculpted eyebrows, a new chin cleft, and lowered, more squared jawline. His nose is further thinned and pointed with a sharpened ridge and narrowed nostrils.
Jackson appears with a chin implant in 1997, with the skin on his face having become taut and angled, and with various other modifications made.
Two years later, Jackson has a new nose as well as a new chin, with smoothened cheeks and a smaller jaw.
In 2000, the singer began sporting a goatee on a longer jaw, with eyes pulled tighter on his face.
The next year, Jackson, 42 years old, is said to have a prosthetic nose tip on the end of an enlarged nose.
In 2002, Jackson's nasal passages are widened and his nose bridge is modified.
Michael Jackson surgery makes the papers one final time in 2004. The singer received a new nose made out of part of his ear, through the efforts of Dr. Werner Mang, a German plastic surgeon.
Jackson died several hours after the death of another treasured icon in the entertainment industry, Farrah Fawcett.

No no no! Everyone did NOT love him and he knew it - why do you insist on sayng this? Why do you think he was taken to court, because everyone loved him? WAKE UP PEOPLE! He's dead and still you're living in a dreamworld.

"MJ was not happy he was allways looking for happiness and found death at the end."
We all find death at the end. Sooner or later.Sometimes, better sooner than later.

First off all this article is incorrect stating he has his first nose surgery at age 26 for the thriller album. He had it way before then. Look at his nose on the Forever Michael Album from 1975, and then look at how much smaller it is on Off the wall. (1979)

He sustained an injury during rehearsals in the 1970s and had to have surgery to repair the injuries. MOSTLY~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~it's no ones damn business what he did to HIMSELF. Respect; a) his talent b) the lyrics, beats and messages of his songs c) he did unlimited "humanitaian" deeds d) GET Over YOURSELVES~~~~~live your lives.
I LOVE MICHAEL JACKSON "ad infinitum"

actually, he clearly had a nose job in the late 70s.
at 09:04 on July 2nd, 2009
nose nose and more nose..... who knows....
at 14:15 on July 5th, 2009
this informations are completely wrong and have no reliable font. To start, everybody knows that he had his first nose job in 1976, due to a fall on stage in which he hit nasal septum ... !!

everyone that says michael is jealous of the great man he turned out to be and no one will EVER be better than him! All the gossip and stress from performing led him to the end. Its very suspicious that he died just 2 weeks before his come back tour - obviously someone didn't want him to perform! now some music artists are angry because even though he's gone his music is #1 again!
we love you MJ R.I.P :(
at 05:34 on July 10th, 2009
i know micheal had done some nasty things in the past, but he still has to be given some respect. you damn fuckers are just jealous of him. we are still not going to have someone like him for a very long time.
i hear they say they are looking for a replacement, Usher,R.Kelly, are seeming to be on the list to replace him. that's nonsense, they are waisting their fucking time. rest in peace Micheal Jackson

Only one thing is certain: No one, except Michael Jackson, neither knows details nor what actually took place in his life because only Michael Jackson was present 100% of the time all of it transpired. Many times we believe what we want to believe about a person's life even though we don't actually know for sure what really occurred. It's seems second nature to believe what we want to believe based on how we feel about a person or on what someone else states about them! And, most of the time never realize we are using those measuring sticks! Unless we are present and seeing what occurs with our own eyes how can we know a whole story? Ever have an experience when a person you know goes around stating to others their misperceptions of your behavior and motives and is able to make whoever listens to those misperceptions angry at you? It's because the listener chose to believe what they heard about you even if it is far from the truth.

I don't understand why he did all the plastic surgeries :( But I never will and I'm still a fan, always will be.
