In addition to the one-hour tribute aired on both MTV and VH1 last night (see a clip of MTV’s Sway talking to a distraught Timbaland), the two sister channels are both going balls out to give Michael Jackson a proper send-off and his legions of stunned fans some memories to embrace.
Not only is VH1 News on the scene in Los Angeles, but VH1 Classic is airing a celebration throughout the weekend of the legacy of the artist who created the world’s biggest selling album ever, Thriller. Tune in to relive the songs, the performances, the choreography, and the styles that still impact pop culture four decades after Michael first became a star with The Jackson 5. VH1 Classic viewers are invited to share their own tributes and memories about the King Of Pop, some of which will be aired on TV.
Today (Friday) at 4PM ET, VH1 is premiering a VH1 News special covering Jackson’s entire biography. Also stay tuned for “Michael Jackson: King Of Videos,” a two-hour video tribute that Jackson himself loved when it originally aired — we hear The Gloved One called the producers of the special to thank them for their work after seeing it.
Stay with us, mourn with us — all weekend.
