It was a very sad day yesterday indeed. The world lost two amazing stars in the form of Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. They were both young and taken away from us too soon. Farrah Fawcett was only 62 and Michael Jackson was a mere 50.

Farrah Fawcett was probably best known for being a pin-up model back in the 1970’s and for being one of “Charlie’s Angels” in the hit show of the same name playing Jill Munroe. She also starred in a number of movies. She was diagnosed with cancer in 2006, but four months later was given the all clear. Then in 2007 she was once again diagnosed with cancer.

Michael Jackson, the self named “King of Pop” has undoubtedly been an influencial figure in the world of music for over 3 decades. He released his “Thriller” album in 1982 and it went on to become the world’s best selling album of all time. He was also know for having a lavish and sometimes eccentric lifestyle. This was backed-up when he bought Neverland; his fairground themed home. In later years his life had been dogged by allegations of child abuse and ill health.

Michael Jackson was due to start a gruelling 50 date concert at the O2 arena in London.

I hope that both Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson rest in peace. They will both be missed.
