Michael Jackson, the honorary King of Pop, would have turned 60 years old today. His untimely death in 2009 rocked the musical world but has not stopped his global influence on prominent figures from all walks of life. The two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Famer remains to be one of the most popular entertainers to ever step foot on the stage and is still one of the bestselling musicians in the world.
Younger sister, Janet Jackson, paid tribute to the “Remember the Time” singer but recreating a modernized version of his iconic video. Check out other celebrities including Smokey Robinson, Akon and Eddie Griffin, who honored the anniversary of Michael Jackson’s birth date.

Today would’ve been Michael Jackson’s 60th birthday. I’ve been thinking about what I want to say in this tweet, but I am unable to describe what this man has meant to me throughout my life. I wouldn’t be me without Michael. Thanks for always being there. ❤️ #MichaelJacksonDay pic.twitter.com/yAq2fsrtlV
