Michael Jackson: the child star haunted by fame and scandal - UK Guardian
"I'm just like anyone," Michael Jackson once famously said. "I cut and bleed. And I embarrass easily." It was one of the singer's numerous attempts to suggest that he was, deep down, an ordinary person – and it was as unconvincing as all the others.

For some, the King of Pop was an object of hysterical devotion; for many more his name became a synonym for weirdness, or for something more sinister. But on one point, at least, they could all agree: being "just like anyone" had little to do with it.

"If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same", he once said, "then everything that happens in between can be dealt with."
