His waxwork 1 takes center stage at Berlin's Madame Tussauds Museum, as many believe it should. He was an icon 2 everywhere. His death has shocked millions.


 


"My first thought was like, wow, and it's a funny feeling."


 


"I think it's bad news for me and I like his music, and I think he is a genius."


 


London was the venue 3 for Jackson's comeback tour. He'd been due to perform 50 concerts starting next month.


 


"My childhood is like gone, cause I grew up with him and his stuff, now it's like a wake-up call, like, that part of my life is over. It's so upsetting. It's so upsetting, and it's so unexpected. Because I had tickets to go see him in the show here, and I was so looking forward to it"


 


"He was just a genius, you know, so I still can't believe he's dead."


 


There were shock too in Paris.


 


"It's a bit strange. It makes me think about what my parents experienced with Elvis or with the Beatles when John Lennon died. It's the first big artist of my generations to die, and I had tickets for his concerts in London this summer."


 


"I think he added a lot on the human level, in all countries and all generations, there was no question of color with Michael Jackson, he was universal."


 


Few would disagree with that, his death was even headline news in Kenya.


 


"He really made the world talk, regardless of everything or accusations 4, wrong, good, bad, he was an entertainer, and it's a mourning thing for the world."


 


Flowers have now been left besides Jackson's model in Berlin, perhaps reflecting the need of fans to express their grief 5, anyway they can.
