Fans Celebrate Late Michael Jackson's 65th Birthday - PopCrush

It's Michael Jackson's birthday! The pop superstar would have been 65 years old today if he were still alive.

The King of Pop was born to Joe and Katherine Jackson in Gary, Ind., on Aug. 29, 1958. He was the eighth of 10 children in his family, including brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon (plus Marlon's twin, Brandon, who died shortly after birth) and Randy, as well as sisters Rebbie, La Toya and Janet.

After going solo following his early career in the Jackson 5, Michael became one of the top three best-selling artists of all time, as well as one of the most awarded and most recognizable faces in pop music history.

Michael's iconic 1982 album Thriller remains the best-selling album of all time.
