EXCLUSIVE: Michael Jackson would have turned 66 this week, so Express.co.uk asked AI-imaging tool Midjourney to reveal what he would look like now if he were still alive
Michael Jackson would have turned 66 years old this week and eerie AI images show what he would look like if he were still alive.
The King of Pop's death on June 25, 2009, sent shockwaves around the world.
Just three weeks before his concert residency in London, the 50-year-old was found unresponsive in his Los Angeles home. He died from cardiac arrest caused by a lethal combination of sedatives and propofol.
Yesterday (August 29) would have marked his 66th birthday and so Express.co.uk asked Artificial Intelligence imaging tool Midjourney to imagine what he would look like now.
The pictures show MJ's iconic black locks are as thick and long as ever.
Stubble is appearing around his chin and above his lips and there are visibly more lines around his face.
He appears to be wearing a colourful jacket and top hat – creating a resemblance to Johnny Depp's character of Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise.
It comes after Jackson's last bodyguard revealed what he thought "really" caused the music legend's death.
Bill Whitfield claimed the child sexual abuse allegations made against the music legend caused him to become a shell of himself and stressed.

"He was sad a lot," Bill told The Sun. "Things were different, he had just come off facing a couple of trials. Like everybody, I heard all the stories prior to working for him, so it would only be normal for me to go into the situation wondering.
"Being that up close and personal with someone, if that was the situation, it would reveal itself. I paid close attention to him and his surroundings and how he interacted with his kids, and other people.
"I never wanted to believe these things, but I definitely kept an eye out, paid extra attention, because I didn't know him until I started working for him."
Jackson was first accused of sexually abusing a child in 1993, but the case was settled out of court. He was again tried over damaging allegations of sexual abuse of a child in 2005, but the FBI failed to find any evidence of criminal conduct and the star was acquitted.
The allegations hit the headlines once more in 2019, with the release of Leaving Neverland.
The documentary focused on Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who alleged they were sexually abused as children by the American singer.
