Jackson fans mark pop star’s first anniversary
Jackson, 50, died from a drug overdose at a rented Los Angeles mansion on June 25 last year, a seismic celebrity death that triggered a global outpouring of tributes for the eccentric genius known as ‘The King of Pop.’
Flowers began piling up in Tokyo, where 50 diehard fans paid the equivalent of more than €800 each to attend a sleepover inside an exhibition space showcasing some of the singer’s belongings. The participants were chosen from 10,000 applicants who wanted to spend the night in the Neverland Collection at Tokyo Tower, surrounded by artifacts including Jackson’s music awards, Rolls Royce and crystal-studded gloves.
