I know it’s the world of Hollywood, but this week they took a big hit losing three huge names in the entertainment industry. Ed McMahon, very unfortunate, but kind of expected due to his age and healthy, same with Farrah, her health had her tragic expected and Michael Jackson, well that is just a shock! The more I thought about it and was saddened with the news, the more I thought about all the things he has done and how it does but it doesn’t surprise me. He has so many surgeries, drug issues and other problems that have him on meds, I would be surprised if the cardiac arrest wasn’t triggered by something other than just a weak heart.

Either way, one of the world’s greatest entertainers is no longer in this world and that is a huge iconic loss. I have grown up jamming out to these songs and his image, dancing endless hours in class to many of his number one hits. Hearing the news truly touched me way more than I ever would have expected. I am in no way his number one fan nor have I ever be emotionally responded to a celebrity death more so then the average sympathy. The music and entertainment industry has now forever changed and will have no problem remembering a legend that changed the world of pop.
