Latin America

I still can’t believe Michael Jackson, a childhood hero to millions, is no longer here. The entire world of music lovers are walking around with heavy hearts today. Jackson was the biggest star of my generation…our Frank Sinatra, our Elvis, our Beatles. Now he’s gone. His life is remembered in Latin America by presidents (Hugo Chavez) and also regular citizens.

"I feel sad, as if a part of my life were torn away," Esteban Rubio, a 30-year-old Jackson impersonator in Mexico told the AP. "He changed the world. ... His legend begins today."
