At what age did Michael Jackson died?

Michael Jackson died at the age of fifty. He died on June 25, 2009, in Los Angeles, after suffering cardiac arrest at his rented home. He was born on August 29, 1958, so he had not yet reached his 51st birthday.

Jackson was one of the most influential entertainers in modern music. He began performing professionally as a child with the Jackson 5 before becoming a solo superstar through albums such as Off the Wall, Thriller, and Bad. Thriller, released in 1982, remains one of the best-selling albums in music history.

A common mix-up comes from the timing of his death: Jackson was 50 during his final year, but he would have turned 51 just over two months later. His death was ruled a homicide by the Los Angeles County coroner, with acute propofol intoxication identified as the primary cause.
