I was thinking of making a poll asking whether or not he'd still be touring, but I started thinking that he obviously wasn't long for this world with the shape he was in, so he would almost have to be clean and sober.
Then I thought if he was suddenly clean and sober, God knows what kind of ideas the man could come up with.
I think if nothing else, he would have at least one major critically acclaimed album by now if that did in fact happen.
What do you think?

Wasn't the world tour he was going to do before he died planned to be his farewell tour?

More people would bring up his child sex abuse claims today. They really rebuilt his legacy well when he died

He still wouldn't acknowledge his son with Billie Jean.

I believe if he was still alive. The UK tour would been successful in quality as we already knew they where all sold out. He would had a World tour US and ex and maybe a final album to go with it since he we saw he had demos and some songs recorded. By now I think the tours would have ended or wrapping up. I don't think he would be the one to have a never ending final tour like some bands has.

He'd kick Bieber in the balls and tell him to "act his age".

He'd try a comeback but all the "lolpedo" claims would put him back into hiding.

We wouldn't have the Ron Arrest aka Meta World Peace's tribute song.

We'd still be making jokes about him being a weirdo child molester.

I do think he would have stopped touring, maybe a one shot concert here or there. But I also think he'd still be making music.

I think he would have ended up in prison or permanently in exile. More kids were coming out and the FBI had a new informant. I think in light of how hard Cosby went down, I just don't see a pederast surviving another go round in the media spin cycle, especially since his character witnesses were recanting and his accusers were not. His cover stories were wearing paper thin and his defenders were drying up along with his funds. That was one of the reasons he was trying to tour again.

If this were happening, they'd release this after his death. Its very suspicious as well as illogical that would not release any of this alleged info in five years.

You never know what will come out then, plus how much people will care about it. Bowie's death has seen people looking up some of his antics in the 70s with young girls, but while it's disgusted some, the majority haven't cared. As for Michael, he'd be in the same position, joked about a lot, accused by many, loved by many others.

It just never got any media coverage because there is no sensationalism anymore in the story. The media knows they can't look good dragging his name through the mud now that he is dead and virtually beatified, and they look bad slandering his victims. There's plenty of living celebrities to dig dirt up on. It's a no win story to cover. Wade Robson and James Safechuck have way more damning stories then previous ones, but have gotten none of the coverage the Chandler's did.

Wade Robson and James Safechuck have way more damning stories then previous ones, but have gotten none of the coverage the Chandler's did. Not true at all. Both Wade and James were discredited by a judge who looked over their claims. You don't defend someone who allegedly molested you, even after he died he still defended him, and now all of a sudden he remembers he was "molested" and that he didn't know it was wrong at the time. The information regarding the cases is out there and not watered down. You just have to be willing to look for it and not believe what media elite subject the masses to. And yes, if the story is there, they would still print it despite Michael being dead because wherever there is a way to make money, ratings, and tv show specials they will find a way. Nothing is sacred to the media.
