Performing the Traveling Wilburys later on in his career he was one of the 1st one to quit the Beatles during the recording of their very final album in 1969 and that caused a lot of problems with John Lennon and George Harrison that was kind of a rift you know they said you can't leave in the middle of an album and later on in his life he died in 2001 he developed brain cancer which he could not overcome and left us with some great solo music and some great recordings along with the Beatles of course what a tremendous collection and catalogue that the Beatles have.

And I know we've got quite a few folks in Ghana listening to us including Mary of ad day. Joins us on 98 point one I heard from John Adams who's in India current account of Paul also in India West Bengal and Chino being who said hi from Monrovia Liberia so hello back at Jack now speaking of Michael Jackson and his career with the Jackson 5 they had 4 consecutive number one songs in the seventy's and then Michael went on to get 13 number one songs as a solo artist which is just unimaginable and they were that he had 5 straight number one songs in the mid eighty's and his album Thriller from 1902 still to this day remains the best selling album of all time. But that wasn't enough for Michael to overcome all of the demons that ultimately led to his death and you know he became addicted to medication to help him sleep Propofol which is ultimately what killed him and the the the sad part of that is he had had his own personal doctor Conrad Murray was there taking care of them administering the medicine supposedly in charge of monitoring his health and then when Michael went into cardiac arrest Dr Murray was on the phone not paying attention so the whole thing very tragic story that ended in 2009 but now comes concern over Michael's daughter who might be headed down the same road she is in a band Paris I'm referring to she's in a band called Sound flowers in Rome she's 21 and they were on tour and performing in Europe and she canceled several shows. And there were reports from folks who work with her and close to her that she suffers panic attacks she has a lot of panic attacks she has very strong anti-anxiety medicine she also takes pills to sleep because she gets nightmares and can't sleep at night without the medication so she just overdid it whether it was intentional accidental that remains to be determined but nonetheless there's a report that she was in the hospital getting care and that's why she canceled some shows everybody knows that she did go into the hospital and then rehab last year over an alleged attempted suicide she denies it but you know that's that's the situation so our thoughts and prayers go to Paris who is only 21 and I know she loved her dad dearly and it's still the image of her at his funeral is still in she spoke with her aunt Janet next to or still is in my mind Alexander thank you for that request for Michael Jackson music we've got our now 72 cd giveaway and that's coming up within the next 15 minutes so get ready for your chance to win here on border crossings and coming up next speaking of winning beyond say hasn't done much of that recently in as far as awards go she was at the Golden Globes and she didn't get anything she was shut out didn't win one of the 4 awards she was nominated for another disappointment the Oscars paster over completely she didn't get a single nomination at the upcoming Oscars that are going to be handed out but life goes on for beyond say you know she's not hurting for money or attention in fact she's just released a line of clothing which is called Park athletic wear named after her daughter Blue Ivy and she's been sending this stuff out free to a lot of celebrities getting a lot of attention for it and it's selling out already it's available and the good thing about her clothing line is it's affordable the low end is $25.00 u.s.
