Wonders shall never end! You mean Micheal Jackson still recieve salary in grave? What a waste of money!

You're still my best.

Love you Micheal

If only we can switch live people for the dead....

Bobrisky comes to mind

Nobody has been able to take his place since he died.

The king of pop

Even at death he is still making money. I am SPEECHLESS.

This is what i am talking about. Later some folks would be comparing sportsmen with musicians. The work of musicians live on for many years, but it's barely so with footballers and other sportsmen. MUSIC RULES!

Some of you guys surprised should take several chill pills. If you think sport pays more post humously, Google is your friend. Bob Marley, Tupac, Elvis Presley, Prince etc are all there to clear your doubts.

He is talking about their earning potential.

The difference is that musicians create intellectual property which allows them to earn money even when not active. When was the last time Dolly Parton released a song? Yet she makes $50 million on average every year from her catalogue.

Micheal Jackson lives forever

MJ...why do good men die?

Dead body be balling, living souls be struggling.

G.O.A.T... ..WACKO JACKO.. ..VOTE BUHARI..GOD BLESS AND PROTECT BUHARI..
