As you've probably heard by now, the one and only, King of Pop, Michael Jackson has passed away. At just 50 years old, the legendary performer died of a cardiac arrest. And while he's not with us anymore, I'd like to think he's hanging out with Bubbles at that big Neverland Ranch in the sky.

In honor of a man best known for his wicked dance moves, chart topping albums, and flamboyant fashion sense we've chosen 8 of his most iconic album covers to remember him by.
