MUMBAI: To commemorate his third death anniversary and 40 incredible years of musical career, Madame Tussauds Hong Kong recently unveiled the wax figure of the King of Pop – Michael Jackson.
The new Jackson wax figure is depicted in the classic performance pose of his ‘This Is It’ tour poster and will be exhibited permanently in the Music Icons zone. This is the 14th Michael Jackson wax figure produced by Madame Tussauds around the world, with only Queen Elizabeth II – who has just celebrated her Diamond Jubilee – being portrayed more often.
A total of 53 beloved fans were invited to create a special tribute to their idol, as Jackson would have been 53 years old to celebrate his new wax figure launch. Fans created the numbers ‘53’ using their personal Michael Jackson CD collection of many years and also his favourite flower – the sunflower, as a special tribute to their idol.
Madame Tussauds Hong Kong general manager Kelly Mak said, “Michael Jackson is a very unique personality we have seen in a long time, this is why we have decided to create the second Michael Jackson wax figure at Madame Tussauds Hong Kong. We would also like to celebrate the 40 incredible years of Michael Jackson’s amazing career and pay tribute to his superstardom through his wax figure launch.”
