This is amazing. The people in this article didn’t even meet Jackson. It is literally just a story about what some guy reckons. The angle is he’s a student doing a BTEC in music, which on the relevance scale is somewhere between having once listened to a Michael Jackson song and being a plastic surgeon.
Meanwhile, shock at the reclusive star’s death has also been felt in Burton and South Derbyshire, where many have cited Jackson as an inspiration.
Joseph Bird, 21, from Burton, who is completing his final year of a BTEC Music Technology course at Burton College, said he still could not believe that the star had died.
