Michael Jackson has died in LA hospital june 25 2009

In remembrance of Michael Jackson, take a trip down memory lane with these pics from the King of Pop's past. Young Michael burst on the scene at age of 11 as a member of the Jackson 5.




Michael (far left) and his brothers rocked some serious fros in the '70s as they dominated the Billboard charts with hit singles such as "ABC" and "I'll Be There."




By the time he was in his late teens, Michael was an international heartthrob and about to embark on one of the most successful solo music careers in history.




The early '80s brought MJ more fame and success, along with tamer hair and famous friends. Brooke Shields accompanied Michael to the 53rd Academy Awards in 1981.




Michael's confidante and mentor, Quincy Jones, also produced his multi-platinum albums 1982's Thriller and 1987's Bad.


In addition to Macaulay Culkin and Corey Feldman, Jackson was pals with pint-sized "Webster" star, Emmanuel Lewis.




By the late '80s, Michael had undergone a drastic physical transformation and introduced one of his trademark accessories - the colored armband. For a decade of chart-toppers, Michael was given the Special Award of Achievement at the American Music Awards.




Michael and his fellow icon Madonna stole the spotlight at the 63rd Annual Academy Awards.




Michael's little sister, Janet, followed in her big bro's footsteps and became a superstar in her own right.




Michael and his wife at the time, Lisa Marie Presley, made headlines when they put on a public display of affection at the MTV Video Music Awards.
