An emotional Madonna gave a moving tribute to Michael Jackson at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards in New York City.....
Barely a month before the 5th anniversary of his passing, living legend, Madonna, on Saturday, shares memorial throwback photos with Michael on Instagram. The 55 year old singer, appropriately captioned it....."The King and the Queen" & slipped in hashtag...."#Iconic" at the end of the caption...How cute!!!

Arguably the greatest entertainer that ever walked planet earth, Michael Jackson's contribution to music, dance and fashion, along with his publicized personal life made him a global figure in pop culture for over four decades.
Together at the 1991 Academy Awards
The two music icons first met while under the same management.....
"I met him the early 1980s when i started working with my manager, Freddy DeMann, who at the time was managing Michael Jackson. I saw him play at Madison Square Garden and i was blown away. He was flawless. There was a party at the Helmsley Palace Hotel. He was very shy but it was a thrill for me"....she once revealed in a candid interview with Rolling Stone
Dinner date: Having dinner in Beverly Hills in April of 1991
The always very out spoken 'Like A Prayer' singer also admitted to being smitten by Michael Jackson's charm and talents......
"I was madly in love with him, totally smitten. He was mindbogglingly talented." She said of her friend.
Also in 1991. ..photo was taken at David Geffen's birthday
Sadly, after decades of 'Rocking Our World' musically, Michael Jackson died of cardiac arrest, reportedly triggered by acute Propofol and benzodiazepine intoxication on June 25th, 2009. And an emotional Madonna honored him at the 2009 MTV Video Movie Awards....
Please the powerful tribute to MJ that had the entire Hollywood stars on their feet for almost 7mins......."The song he sang were not childlike at all" she said.
She ended her amazing and eloquent speech on a positive note to the admiration of MJ's big brother, Jermaine Jackson......
"I want to end this on a positive note and say that my sons, age 9 and 4 are obsessed with Michael Jackson. There's a whole lot of crouch grabbing and moon-walking going on in my house. And it seems like a whole new generation of kids has discovered his genius and are bringing him back to life again. I hope that wherever Michael is right now, he's smiling about this. Yes! yes, Michael was a human-being, but damn it! He was a king.....Long Live The King!!!!
