On Yoko Ono's official website, Imagine Peace, Yoko has put up a statement on the death of Michael Jackson.

The site features a large picture of a very young Jackson and these words:

Michael Jackson, RIP

With his enormous talent, Michael kept giving us power, inspiration and joy.
Yet he knew that the world was not kind to him for many reasons, some of it going right back to racism.

That must have been so hard for him.
His various attempts to be loved by the world equaled the pain he received from it.

Michael, now you are free from all that.
Rest well in Peace.
We will always remember you and love you for what you were to us.

With love,
Yoko Ono Lennon
June, 2009.
