MJ, der "King of Pop", ist auch noch nicht so lange tot, wie der „King of Rock ’n’ Roll“ ... wobei man doch wieder mal anmerken muß, dass es auch da immer noch Anhänger gibt, die die These vehement vertreten, dass Elvis Presley noch lebt ... aber real wurde er unter den Lebenden NICHT aufgespürt ...
wie denn auch ... Elvis ist doch seit dem 16. August 1977 bereits Tod ... also seit fast 35 Jahren ...
er wäre heute 76 Jahre alt ... und wenn man an ihn denkt und ihn sich vorstellt, dann sind es doch immer gedankliche "Bilder, die einen Elvis in seiner "Glanzzeit" zeigen, fast niemals der aufgedunsene, fette Elvis, so wie er vor seinem Tod ausgesehen hatte ...
:) halt wie bei fast allen Ikonen, die die Welt nicht im hohen Alter verlassen haben ...
:) Michael Jackson is the real King as he beats Elvis to top-earning dead celebrity... raking in $170m

Last updated at 8:44 AM on 27th October 2011The King of Pop has beaten The King to the top place on a list of top-earning dead celebrities.
Michael Jackson's estate raked in an estimated $170m this year, while Elvis Presley secured second place with $55m, according to financial website Forbes.com.
This is the second year in a row Jackson came in first place on the list following his death in 2009.

Like Jackson, Presley's $55m earnings were helped by the Cirque du Soleil, who produced Viva Elvis in tribute to the late singer.
Hollywood's golden age pin-up girl, Marilyn Monroe, who died at age 36 in 1962, earned near $27 million, placing her third on the list.

Sultry screen icon Elizabeth Taylor, who passed away in March aged 79, was placed fifth after reportedly earning $12 million, with a large portion coming from the sales of her popular fragrance, White Diamonds.
The Top-Earning Dead Celebrities list by Forbes takes into account any deceased famous figure who has earned at least $6 million between October 2010 and October 2011.
Jackson's physician at the time of his death, Dr. Conrad Murray, is currently on trial in Los Angeles, charged with involuntary manslaughter for administering the powerful anesthetic propofol as a sleep aid for the singer in Jackson's home. Murray has pleaded not guilty.
Jackson, whose name has rarely been out of the media headlines due to his sudden death and its cause, has seen sales of albums and memorabilia increase in the past year.
The theatre group Cirque Du Soleil has mounted an extravagant show called 'Immortal' that is based on the singer's life and music.
Earlier this month, a tribute concert in Cardiff, Wales, lured tens of thousands of fans.
