Michael Jackson
The King of Pop's career was on a downturn in 2003, and he'd transformed from one of the world's most iconic musicians to a full-on recluse. His children wore veils in public and he was caught in the middle of several child abuse lawsuits, so it's safe to say that his career was over. After an accidental overdose in 2009, fans have been reluctant to listen to his music given his shady past.
RIP King of Pop
After Michael Jackson passed, his legacy has been under question. It was up for debate whether or not his music would be pulled from airwaves. The documentary that aired regarding the sex abuse scandal was accused of being staged for press and money, but the victims in question rebuke that claim.
