I hope when I’m dead they ask my tribute acts how devasted they are.

TEESSIDERS who have met Michael Jackson today spoke of their devastation at the death of the King of Pop.

Distraught John Amoah, a Michael Jackson tribute act, says his idol’s death feels like “losing a brother.”

John, of Middlesbrough, has worshipped the superstar since childhood, when he and his brothers used to perform Jackson Five numbers for their late mum Joan.
