For Michael Jackson fans the sky fell in when the man that changed the face of pop, in varied and sometimes scary ways, popped his patent clogs in June 2009.

If you can live without your nosh from time to time, then you can probably carry on living while greedy-guts pop their clogs.

There is a company pension and healthcare scheme too, as well as a death in service scheme that pays out three times salary in the event that I pop my clogs while still in the employ of the company.
