As promised, we have delivered a few more shots of our mourned pop icon to www.gettyimages.com.  Above, Jackson sits in a New York City subway car in 1987 during the filming of the Martin Scorsese directed music video; Bad.

Everyone has a Michael story.  Maybe his album was the first one you bought with your own money because your parents wouldn’t.  Maybe you sat next to him wearing a disguise on  bus in Florida (as my aunts co-worker did).  Perhaps you saw him browsing the aisles at Virgin Mega Store like it was the most natural thing in the world.   What does Michael Jackson mean to you?  See more unearthed Michael Jackson imagery here.

Conflicting reports have been flying all afternoon regarding Michael Jacksons’ health, with the unfortunate conclusion coming this evening that he has in fact died.  The earths first “Moon-walker” was rushed to UCLA Medical Center earlier today in response to a 911 call from his Holmby Hills residence.  It was reported that he was in cardiac arrest when help arrived and was unresponsive upon receiving CPR by paramedics.

A controversial and troubled man, he has made an undeniable impact on pop music, music videos and “image reinvention” as an artist.   We have lost an American pop culture icon whose influence spanned over three decades.  Let’s have a look at Jackson’s flamboyant career from The Jackson Five to tabloid fueled eccentricity here.

Getty Images is unearthing new archive material from the vaults so stay tuned.

Rumors of marital trouble abound, Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz made a very public display of affection at the podium of the Vodafone MTV Australia Awards. Might they be too young to remember the 1994 MTV Video Music Awards kiss between Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley? Hoping the kiss does not share the same fate.
