Is Michael Jackson alive? We explain the theory that he faked his death
More than a decade after the death of the King of Pop, fans still think it was all a hoax.
Michael Jackson was found dead at his home in Los Angeles on June 25, 2009, more than a decade later, his fans and lovers of conspiracy theories continue to think that it was all a hoax and that the king of pop faked his death. in order to lead an anonymous life away from all the controversies that haunted him in the last years of his career.
As one of the greatest music stars of all time, Michael Jackson's life was in the public domain, his movements were followed almost obsessively by millions of people who watched that little boy from the Jackson 5 grow up and become. an international star, but not everything that was said about the Thriller interpreter was good. Jackson lived in a mansion named after Peter Pan's island of lost children, Neverland, and was always surrounded by children who followed him on his travels around the world, usually without his families present.
Jackson was eccentric, his skin turned white (the singer said he suffered from vitiligo, but many believe that is not the case), his soft voice sounded fake, and he was eventually accused of sexually abusing some of the children who accompanied him. , which led to a very public trial in which he was finally acquitted.
Controversy family dramas never stopped haunting him (a documentary recently came out, Leaving Neverland, with new testimonies from the victims), but the world still worshiped the man with the impossible voice who had created songs that defined an era and were so important. for so many people. When the musician died, the whole world went into a period of mourning, but, almost at the same time, theories began to appear that said that everything was part of a conspiracy created by Jackson himself to be able to escape the chaos in which he had been converted your life.
The theory emerged almost from the moment of the singer's death because everything sounded so strange (not many believed that he had overdosed on propofol and benzodiazepines, as the doctors determined), and took hold years later when the banker of Investments David Dunn appeared before the United States Tax Court in Los Angeles and said Jackson was close to bankruptcy before his death. Additionally, hairstylist Steve Erhardt, who was a close friend of Jackson's, said that he had information that "not even the family knows about," and suggested that the world would soon find out the truth.
More recently this year, a video of Tik Tok, shared by a user identified as Michael Jackton, reawakened fan curiosity and conspiracy theories (although it sounds weird that Jackson would fake his death only to return on TikTok with a such an absurd name as Michael Jackton, don't you think?).
And that is not the only case in which fans believe they have seen Michael Jackson, nor is it the craziest theory, since 2009, there have been several videos and photos of fans who believe they have discovered Jackson's hideout (they usually show him walking on the street in some city), although all have proven to be imitators. Fans also believe that his death certificate was misspelled, and that they did it on purpose, meaning that he is not really dead.
On the other hand, there is another even more far-fetched theory that says that Bruno Mars is actually the singer's son. The theory began to gain traction after a thread appeared on Twitter claiming to have evidence that Michael Jackson and Bruno Mars are father and son. Jackson had allegedly said in an interview that he had an unrecognized son and that he refused to give more information to protect your identity. Furthermore, they point out that Mars' real name, Peter Gene, is a reference to Jackson's favorite character, Peter Pan.
Sure, anyone can find many more connections between the two musicians, but, they are still just theories, no one has definitive proof, and the same thing happens with the theory that Michael is alive, many would like to see their idol back, but that is something that will not happen.
As with the conspiracy theory of the death of Paul McCartney that of Tupac Shakur, it is all based on the crazy ideas of a few people who refuse to accept the truth, although their are very funny for the rest of us.
