So with the death of Michael Jackson the news has been flooded with tributes to the King of Pop. In America a number of vigils have sprung up, in London tonight there was a flashmob to celebrate Jackson’s music. Billed as as mass moonwalking event it was organised via Twitter in just a few hours. Given that it was pretty impressive that something like 2,000 people turned up to Liverpool Street Station to take part.
In the end there were probably too many people, as there was no real space for people to actually moonwalk. Instead people were just dancing and jumping up and down. It was a really great atmosphere and you could tell everyone there had a great love for the music.
I also shot some (not brilliant) video, which is currently being uploaded, so I’ll post the video as soon as its done.

I grew up with his music in the 1980s. It is a big loss.
