Britain-Us-Ent-Music-Jackson

Graffiti is altered to include the news of the death in America of US singer Michael Jackson on the first " official" day of the annual Glastonbury festival near Glastonbury, Somerset on June 26, 2009. After years of living as a virtual recluse, Michael Jackson, who died Thursday, had promised a comeback of typically blockbusting proportions with 50 shows in London starting next month. Fans queued for hours to catch a glimpse of the pop star when he appeared briefly at the giant O2 venue in the British capital in March to announce a string of dates going into 2010, and tickets sold out within hours.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment in music history, as graffiti art is altered to reflect the shocking news of Michael Jackson's untimely death. Taken on the first day of the renowned Glastonbury festival near Glastonbury, Somerset on June 26,2009, this image symbolizes the profound impact that Jackson had on both British and American music culture. After years of seclusion from public life, Jackson had recently announced his highly anticipated comeback with an unprecedented series of 50 shows in London. Fans eagerly awaited his return and queued for hours to catch a glimpse of their idol when he made a brief appearance at the colossal O2 venue in March earlier that year. Tickets sold out within hours, highlighting the immense anticipation surrounding these performances. The altered graffiti serves as a poignant tribute to one of pop music's greatest legends. It showcases how deeply Jackson's influence resonated with people around the world and how profoundly his passing affected fans across different nations. Photographer Leon Neal skillfully captures this offbeat moment against a festival backdrop, emphasizing both the vibrancy and somberness associated with such an unexpected loss. This photograph stands as a testament to Michael Jackson's enduring legacy and reminds us all of his unparalleled talent and global impact on popular culture.
