Can't tell if sarcasm...
So I'll answer as if not... But, yes, he was. That was one of the huge, lifelong scandals of his. The constant plastic surgeries, him denying it or coming up with excuses, everybody knowing the immense pressure of his childhood. His story really was really really sad, all the way to the end.
And even with all the scandals and very probable evils he did, he's still considered the King of Pop.
The dancing, the music videos, the music(!)... Did you know that before him, music videos for songs basically weren't stories at all? Yet his were all basically short films. And I'm pretty sure Thriller is still the best selling album of all time, and an absolute masterpiece.
And even today, the numbers of dances in NEW videogames that are all Michael Jackson dances.
