Monday marks the 9th death anniversary of Michael Jackson, the "king of pop." He died at the age of 50 due to a cardiac arrest following acute intoxication of drugs propofol and benzodiazepine.

A musical detailing the life of Jackson is slated to premiere in 2020, according to reports. The production is a collaboration between the Jackson Estate and Columbia Live Stage. Posthumously, Jackson remained one of the most profitable musical artists worldwide as he sold 35 million units of his over 750 million albums sales, after his death.

Here are some inspiring quotes to remember Jackson by on his death anniversary.
