As with any celebrity, there are always a number of websites commemorating them and celebrating their achievements. Michael Jackson is without doubt one of the biggest stars ever and arguably has no equal. It is not too astonishing then he has over a thousand websites dedicated to him in one way or another.
The official website of Michael Jackson is at the time of writing dedicated to leaving messages honoring his memory, without doubt his life and career will be remembered forever. It is after all not every other day that you have an artist who has the kind of influence that Michael had on the world. He captured true spirit in all of his songs, and fans would say he always made music for the love of making it, not for the money or the glory was to follow.
The official website has content dedicated exclusively to Michael Jackson. There are songs and videos of the superstar, with other options like going through his discography as well as any recent updates. Like any good celebrity website, there used to be links to subscribe to his updates. With the passing away of the star, this feature seems to have been removed, perhaps temporarily.
As of today, the website's front page has become a wall to post condolences. There are currently nearly 400,000 posts on the wall. The numbers are sure to swell. It is common for people to react when something this big happens. After all, it is not every day that someone who from the age of about 11 years old (possibly younger) rose to fame and remained a superstar for the next 40 years.
As mentioned, there are other too. Most of them have turned into tribute sites, and indeed why not, Michael was huge, a massive icon, and there are lots of interesting Michael Jackson stuff to read, and even perhaps albums or videos you had always promised to buy, but never got round to it.
