Image tribute by Malcolm Bryce

June 25th 2009 is a day that will fill me with sadness for the rest of my life. It’s odd. When I spoke to people today they’ve all been like ‘Wow! Has it been a year already’. I wish the last 365 days passed as quickly for me. Even today I’m still coming to terms that MJ is no longer with us. The one thing that has kept me going is his lasting legacy and that his fans are as strong as ever. Thank you to everyone who has been there for me. To my beautiful fiancé Jo and my fantastic daughter thanks for putting up with me. And to the really special members of my #mjfam @malbryc @sillajackson @amandabuttress @andyroser24 @roblives4love @ellen_82 @loveyoumoremj (and so many more) who have helped to make this that little bit easier lots of L.O.V.E.

As the years pass I know that we will always believe and we will never forget, because legends never die. L.O.V.E.

When Michael was taken from us this time last year my heart was broken as never before. A part of me really did wither & die. After a tough year, getting tickets for several of the fated ‘This Is It’ concerts had turned my life around & brought joy & hope back into my life. When he died that renewed hope was extinguished. I wept for hours on end and initially felt alone in my grief. I travelled alone to the O2 on the 13th July last year to pay my respects – a sobering experience but a journey I am glad I made.

Thankfully, I was lucky enough to have seen Michael perform at several of the Wembley Dangerous & History Tour concerts but if anything that made the loss worse.

Through Twitter I have now connected with many true Michael fans around the world and their support & shared admiration of Michael has built the #MJfam a Twitter community/army defending his honour, continuing to celebrate Michaels life & the huge contribution he made affecting so many of us.
God Bless you Michael, Rest in Peace sweet Angel.

I’m sure you know by now that amajorlove.com is a huge fan of the MJ Forever Show. Well now you can get your own copy of the show on DVD for the amazing price of £8 (plus £2 p&p). If you’re still not sure what I am on about (where have you been?) then check out the exclusive trailer here. But hurry… only 100 copies have been made. You can order yours direct from their web site.

Here is a brand new pic of what ‘Beat It’ the MJ game from Ubisoft will look like. Release is due for the end of this year.

To mark the one year anniversary of Michael’s death Sky Movies in the UK will be showing the UK TV Premiere of ‘This Is It’. You can find out more here.

This Friday is going to be hard for all of us who love Michael. I know that everyone is going to mark the day in their own special way. I’m going to be wearing my MJ stuff to work on the 25th to show everyone that I will never forget and that legends never die. I will also be reporting as many tributes as I can find on the site over the next week and beyond.

If you are doing something and would like to share it with the fans please comment on this post or email me at paulums@gmail.com and I will get you online.

L.O.V.E. to you all on this difficult week.

(This is going to be pretty short, keeping it simple )

June 25th is fast approaching where a new anniversary will emerge, the passing of our King, Michael Joseph Jackson.

This anniversary marks the first year without Michael and will sure be the toughest of them all.

Michael was an inspiration to us and still is, fans around the world still crave to hear his voice or watch his videos, that’s power you certainly can’t buy (or recreate today). The legacy continues to thrive as fans look deeper into his life and the future that it holds.

Whatever you do on June 25th, make sure you take time out to honour Michael. Whether it be meeting up with fellow fans, taking time out of work or enjoying a trip that Michael would have loved. Remember to celebrate him, think about him and smile.

“If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with” – Michael Jackson

Michael is forever. Forever is Michael. Michael Forever.
