Michael Jackson Foundation Statement on the Fifth Anniversary of His Passing

The Michael Jackson Foundation stated in its announcement:

"Today our prayers accompany the loved ones of Michael, as we remember what a kind and gracious person he was, and what a generous spirit he had — sharing his gifts with the world with open hands, and possessing an boundless sense of empathy for those in need.

Time has proven that with each passing year, people's appreciation grows deeper — not only for Michael's talent, but for his passion and lifelong effort to spread peace, unity, and hope among all cultures and communities.

The absence of Michael's friendship, kindness, humor, and warmth will always be felt. The world is a far better place for having known him."
