"Devotion" An unauthorized tribute to Michael Jackson Michael Jackson will forever be remembered as the greatest entertainer of a generation. His ground-breaking dance moves, iconic vocals and countless hits have cemented him in the hearts of thousands of fans around the world. Devotion ¨C An unauthorized Tribute follows a career like no other, from his earliest days as a cute, seven-year old member of the Jackson Five to the release of his record-breaking album Thriller in 1983 and its subsequent trailblazing music video clip; to the troubles of later years, including short-lived marriages to Lisa-Marie Presley and Debbie Rowe and financial problems related to his troubled Never Land Ranch. But Michael Jackson never let the public and media's perceptions of him get him down. Literally weeks before his untimely death on 25th June 2009, he was about to embark on a fifty-date tour of the UK, tipped to be one of the biggest comebacks in pop history. Fans around the world looked forward to the tour, putting the strange behavior of his past out of their minds. After all, the music is the most important thing, something that has never been more apparent than in the days and weeks following his death. Since Michael Jackson was taken from us, his music and videos have soared to the top of the charts and the world has once again embraced the reclusive star, giving him a send-off that has been compared to the funeral of Princess Diana for its celebrity participation and attendance. Among the stars that performed at the memorial were Mariah Carey, Justin Timberlake and Stevie Wonder, proving that Jackson's star never really faded, and most likely, never will.
