It was still a day before the autopsy, when pathologists would open him up and try to understand why a thin, 50-year-old man who had danced for hours the night before would die so suddenly. Twenty minutes later, it was the turn of Blair himself to shine as he presented the Lifetime Achievement award to Bowie, who was sporting his Outside-era ginger beard and an earring that declared “SEX”.

But if few in the room grasped the significance of Jarvis’s stage invasion, backstage the Pulp singer was soon made aware he was in hot water.Michael Jackson epitomised pop culture for decades, inspiring creative souls with his music as well as his style, until his death on June 25, 2009 at the age of 50.
