The
Contactmusic online has reported that
the Pop King was reading Rabindranath
Tagore’s poetry during his last
days.
It is also to be noted that MJ, who
considered India as his special love,
was planning to collaborate with the
academy award winner AR Rahamn for
an album which would narrate the need
for environmental changes.
MJ was also planning to use Rahamn
for a unity anthem which could be
included in his O2 concert series.
In his blog Rahman wrote “He
was praising the chord progression
of Jai Ho’s chorus. He asked
me to compose a unity anthem on the
lines of 'We are the World' for him.
I nodded in awe."
During his trip to Mumbai in 1996
for a concert MJ said, “India,
all my life I have longed to see your
face. I met you and your people and
fell in love with you. Now my heart
is filled with sorrow and despair
for I have to leave, but I promise
I shall return to love you and caress
you again. Your kindness has overwhelmed
me, your spiritual awareness has moved
me, and your children have truly touched
my heart. They are the face of God.
I truly love and adore you India.
Forever, continue to love, heal and
educate the children, the future shines
on them. You are my special love,
India. Forever, may God always bless
you.”
