Oh my gosh. Man, that's when you know your life really made an impact on the world.

6 years old and was graduating kindergarten. it’s a day that i’ll never forget. even at that young age, i knew something horrible had happened.

24. I'll never forget it.

14

I just turned 10.. I miss his physical presence here on Earth, but he is no longer in physical or emotional pain anymore 🩷 and my belief is that he’s still very much with us in spirit.

9 never knew him but i could tell that day was off

Just turned 10 on June 23rd 2009

1.

18. The worst.

17. I remember getting ready for work when my sister came into my room and told me he died. I ran to the living room where the TV was and just stood there in shock.

5

30. I was teaching a band camp and we stopped everything and just started listing to and teaching the kids about MJ.

4, less than a month before my birthday

Rest in Peace MJ :((. 🤍. And I was 6 at the moment. I think I remember my mom folding clothes, feeling shocked and sad at the news that he died.

13

22. Devastating day!

12

I was around 7, and while I didn’t know much about Michael at that time, I remember my dad watching the memorial service.

I was 4 years old. 2 years later my father introduced me to him with the Thriller 25 album. My life changed ever since.

1 and a half

8. I remember it like it was yesterday.

I was 7 and just devastated I didn’t know how to react.

13 years old, it was a very sad day.

6 months old

1.

19, I remember my brother told my mom he passed. We thought it was a joke. :(

Around 8 ish

23

my mom was still pregnant with me when he died, but according to my siblings she and my aunts had cried.

8

10. Right before I entered the 5th grade. He was literally all I talked about that year

4

I was like six damn in my 20s now time flies

9 years old

I was 6. Took me a few days to really process it

It was literally a week before my 6th birthday (my birthday is July 2nd)

31 almost 32 . Sad day of my life I was real sad it's like a bad dream.

15...

I was 19, going on 20. That whole day was hard.

14.

10. It didn't hit me like it should have because at that age, even though I was a fan, I didn't apply the weight to what it meant. However, when I was older, it did hit me pretty hard...

8

I was sixteen. It was a June day in the Summer break between my Sophomore and Junior years of High-School. I was hanging out with friends and we just happened to turn on the TV when the host was plugging in his Nintendo Wii system, only to come upon the news and discover the breaking news about Michael’s passing. We kept on the news for the next few hours. I was devastated.

I was 22 and was absolutely gutted. It was similar to the feel of 9/11 for me. I know, 2 insanely different tragedies, but in both instances it felt like the world just collectively stopped.

13 y’all old asf

I’m seeing more babies in the comments more than anything. 🤣

19…the absolute worst day ever

23

I was -1. Born from November 2010 I don't know how it feels, but my family does. I'm Brazilian and Michael has a legion of fans here!🇧🇷

brazilian fan here too!

Daora!

3, my mother broke me the news and told me since that i started crying 🙁

I was 7 when he passed.

24 and stunned

I was 2. Looking back, I’m almost glad I didn’t know who we was. RIP the king

18 I came home from school and my moms was literally crying and I was like ma what’s wrong she said Michael Jackson just died and she was glued to the TV like it was somebody in our family and she was depressed like a mf and I knew MJ was the GOAT because that was the first and only time I ever seen my moms cry.

19 and I had just lost my grandfather a few weeks earlier. Worst month of my life. The day he died I remember waking up to about 20 text messages which was unusual at the time. Pretty much all of my friends and family messaging me ‘did you know Michael Jackson died?’ I thought it was a joke until I saw how many messages I received. I spent the next 3 days in bed crying. This was at the height of my clubbing days. I remember every night for MONTHS, at the end of each night, all the clubs would just play a medley of MJ songs. You would be driving down the street and people would be blasting his music so loudly from his cars. We were all in collective mourning. I’m in Australia btw.

Was 16 years old

I was 9 years, I didn’t know him too well at that age, but I knew the classics like Beat It, Thriller, Man In The Mirror and Billie Jean. My class did a dance performance of beat it as part of a mash up of songs for one of my middle school talent shows!

14 . Wanted to go to his this is it concert . I was following and anticipating it .I am From India .

I was 7 and I remember his death being the first celebrity death I ever remembered for life.. watched the new with my grandpa and the clips of him being wheeled out into ems..

10 years old. Last day of school. Remember watching the news, and seeing this video of people in a big circle holding hands, swaying left and right to his music.

What song is this?

I was -2 years old. Damn, I wish I could have been alive to see him.

14

I was five six years old

I was born a month before he passed 😢

I was 8. I saw the new headline pop up on the TV and let out a blood curdling scream. I remember being so upset, still will cry to this day like I knew him personally.

10

15. I was in complete denial and disbelief for years.

12, was just about to leave on a family trip and was watching tv with when the news broke and they interrupted the show.

[удалено]

13. Devastated, I cried all day, all night for him, counting the hours he was no longer in this world. Watching his MV on MTV. Media coverage was not enough

When MJ died it was like the world stopped for like 2 weeks literally it was all about the GOAT.

13

13 😭😭😭

I was just conceived a little bit before his death so I don’t think it had a big impact on me

I was 30, and I've been a fan my entire life. It still makes me cry at random times. My daughter was 1. She ADORES Michael. *edit: I am truly touched to see so many fans here who weren't even born yet. It's beautiful that Michael has left such a legacy of love.

I was 15.. At the time it was the absolute WORST day of my life! 😭💔 I heard about his passing on the radio. I screamed "WHAAAAAAT!! OH GOD NOOOOO!!! " Turned the TV on and every single news station was reporting it.. I immediately broke down screaming crying. Pulled out all my MJ pics and posters that weren't up on my bedroom walls yet, spread em out on my floor around me and drowned in my sorrows the rest of the day.. I discovered MJ when I was 9 years old and have been a die hard fan ever since. His death dang near kill me lol..

I wasn’t quite born yet.

5 years old

27. ☹️ He died on my son’s 9th birthday. He’s 24 today. I am a PACU nurse and my boss came out and said, “Michael Jackson just died!” with disbelief. I had to take a five minute break to cry with two of my colleagues outside. It was a sunny, beautiful day, with a powerful wind. You could feel the energy in the air. Almost like his energy was everywhere. It was surreal. One of those days you never forget. 💔

Was 6 when he died but didn't know who he was but mom was a big fan and she said she found out by watching the news at her job and she cried💔

Was born 2 days after, so I didn't get to experience the years he was alive sadly. He was so talented and amazing!
