In June 2025, many of us are taking part in the 30-Day “On This Date” Coach4aday Challenge. Each day, the challenge encourages participants to engage in a meaningful or enjoyable activity inspired by a historical event, anniversary, or personal memory tied to that specific date. My post today is on the KING OF POP Michael Jackson who died on June 25, 2009.

In 1989 at an awards presentation Elizabeth Taylor referred to Michael Jackson as “the true king of pop, rock, and soul“. The name stuck as Jackson’s global fame, innovative music videos, and unmatched sales solidified his legendary status in the entertainment world. In 1982 Jackson released his 6th album called “Thriller” which has sold 70 million copies worldwide. On a list of all-time best selling albums it still remains at the top.

On This Date-30 Day Challenge Guidelines

As with previous challenges, participants are encouraged to adapt the guidelines to fit their own circumstances. If you can, commit to think about the history of each day in June.

1. Record something about what happened on this date. It can be an event, memory, or anniversary.
2. Share with a challenge partner if you have one.
3. Join the conversation by posting on social media with the hashtag #Coach4adayChallenge

June 25th-King of Pop-Michael Jackson

On June 25, 2009, Michael Jackson suffered cardiac arrest and was transported to a Los Angles hospital where he died.

The Los Angeles County coroner determined that Michael Jackson’s death on June 25, 2009, was a homicide caused by acute propofol intoxication, with benzodiazepines such as lorazepam and midazolam contributing to respiratory and cardiovascular suppression. Dr Conrad Murray was charged and was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter.

Rolling Stone Magazine did an article in 2014 on 50 of Michael Jackson Best Songs.

When it comes to memorable dance moves the “moonwalk” that Jackson did when singing “Billie Jean” sure looks he is the King of Pop
