Jackson family statement regarding Michael’s death

Yesterday, Saturday, June 27, the Jackson family released a statement. "In one of the darkest moments of our lives, finding words to describe this sudden tragedy that has befallen us is extremely difficult. Our beloved child, our brother and father of three children, was taken from us in such an unexpected and, in a way, very heartbreaking and far too soon manner. This has left our family so stunned and devastated that communication with the outside world is currently impossible for us. We miss Michael beyond words. Our pain cannot be described in words. But Michael does not want us to give in right now. We want to thank all of his loyal supporters and steadfast fans around the world. You—those who loved Michael so much—please don’t be discouraged, because Michael will continue to live on in each and every one of you. Continue to spread his message, because that is what he wanted you to do. Keep going so that his legacy remains forever." Joe Jackson, Michael’s father, also said personally: "My grandchildren (Michael’s children) have been deeply affected by all the love and support you have shown them and their father."
