Michael Jackson not out history books yet, will stay in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

Michael Jackson will stay in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, despite the allegations of sexual abuse made against him recently.

The late King of Pop died from acute Propofol intoxication in June 2009 at the age of 50. As reported by The Sauce, the ‘We are the World’ singer has become the subject of allegations in the HBO documentary ‘Leaving Neverland’, in which victims James Safechuck and Wade Robson claim that Michael sexually abused both of them after befriending them when they were children.

And despite the claims against him, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has said he won’t be kicked out of the history books and will remain a two-time inductee.

Hall of Fame bosses told the press that the ‘Thriller’ hitmaker was recognized by the organization for musical excellence and talent, along with having a lasting impact on the music industry, which remains the case despite the allegations.

Michael has been inducted into the iconic Hall of Fame twice by a voting body of historians, fellow musicians, and industry professionals, once for his work with the Jackson 5 in 1997, and once for his solo career in 2001. The Hall of Fame also claims none of the ‘Billie Jean’ singer’s memorabilia will be removed from the museum in Cleveland, Ohio.

Following the allegations, Michael Jackson’s music has been muted by radio stations in Canada and New Zealand. A statue of him has also been removed from a London museum and memorabilia removed from a Children’s museum in the USA. Some adverts portraying Jackson’s innocence were pulled down in London as well.

The Michael Jackson estate has denied the allegations and has branded both accusers “perjurers” and “admitted liars”.
