Try to remember what Michael Jackson was like before the court case, the cosmetic surgery, the Messiah complex. Think back to 25 years ago, when Thriller, the top selling album of all time, was released.

“I wanted to marry him and I wanted him to walk down the aisle of my local church in the red leather trousers he wore in the Thriller video and that red leather jacket, with the black trim. We’d moonwalk back up it as man and wife.”

As a teenager in Essex, Joanna Taylor was not alone in wanting to marry Michael Jackson. All her friends did, in fact it was a dream shared by millions of girls across the UK and the rest of the world.

Friday, November 30 marked the end of what will forever be remembered as the longest and most courageous battle between one man and death. Robert Craig “Evel” Knievel died in Clearwater, Florida, finally succumbing after nearly a three-year bout with the terminal lung disease, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. He was 69.

His death was preceded by more than 40 years of constant battle against the persistent pain of broken bones and severe trauma after jumping and crashing motorcycles like no man had ever done before. In addition, he fought to overcome the tremendous obstacles of diabetes, hepatitis C, a liver transplant, numerous surgeries and two strokes.

Knievel’s legacy as America’s Legendary Daredevil, Last of the Gladiators, and King of the Stuntmen will undeniably live on among millions of fans, past, present and future.
